Well, you don't need to read the file (and write it to the serial port) a character at time (incidentally your loop-exit condition it's wrong, you should use i<nLength).
For sending binary data, you need to fill a SafeArray and pack it into a Variant, see, for instance: "Mscomm and mode binary" at codeguru (using MFC OLE wrapper classes really helps here).
Again, you may also choose to avoid COM and go with Win32's CreateFile, WriteFile, .., see the link Paniello provided.

BYTE *pBuffer = new BYTE[nLength];
COleVariant var;
CByteArray barr;
file.Read(pBuffer,nLength);
for(UINT i = 0; i <sizeof((pBuffer)/sizeof(BYTE)) ; i++)
{
barr.Add(bytes[i]);
}
var=barr;
m_mscom.SetOutput(var);
is it right way ,if file size is 5000 byte it will work?.because i have to transfer up to 15MB .

Why don't you try (start with small amount of data)?
You know, sending 15MB of data will take more than 20 minutes even at 115200 baud.

Really? You do realize that loop equates to:

for binary data, you have to make sure the driver doesn't interfere with the data at all; so you must check each and every port setting, including:
- pass NULL;
- don't change CR/LF;
- don't enable software handshaking.
FWIW: I tend to avoid binary communication over serial ports; when portability is more important than performance, I'd rather do some encoding, typically stuffing 2 bytes in 3 printable characters (i.e. the range 0x20-0x7E), so port settings wouldn't interfere with it at all.

hi Luc Pattyn do you have a sample code , so it will help to understood, still i am confuse

No, as I said I avoid doing such things as it is more trouble than its worth most of the time. I haven't done any binary serial comm on Windows using C/C++ in many years; and if I really had to do it today, I'd use C# anyway.

Just create a file pointer to the serial port com1/com2.
And do operations read file and write file with small chunks of data.
And about the UI(User interface ) that u can create using MFC dialog based application.
Silly matter only...
Thanking you

Chances are the eunuch guarding the serail port won't like binary data.

Generally, there's no problem sending binary data through a serial port if you are sure both ends are using full transparancy of the data, allow NULLs, CR/LF expansion (as mentioned by someone else above). XOFF and XON and EOF also need to be transparent.
The real issue is what do you do about "transmission errors"? There's no guarantee that serial data gets to the other side without problems, dropped bits, character framing errors. So, typically you have to wrap the data with some higher level checking, CRC, etc to ensure proper transmission of the data. Of course, since corruption is detected on the receiving side, you then need to tell the transmitter to re-send the data stream. Wait, this is beginning to sound a lot like a complete protocol.....

I've been there. And it might be easier/better to install SLIP and use FTP then. Unfortunately the OP never mentioned what the other side was, in fact he didn't give any context.
BTW: The transparency reply was mine also, this one was a reaction on the typo in the subject line.

Oh, a "serail port". Isn't that where they take containers directly off the ship and put them on trains (or visa-versa).

Hi,
I need VB or VC++ source code or any free tool to log the start up and shut down time of all the PCs connected in a lan to a file. Whenever any of the PCs in the Lan are Started up or Shut down, the utility should log the details including the event time in a file. If any body have source, Pl provide me.
Thanks in Advance

Well I'm afraid if it's the former, you will have to write it yourself, if the latter, you should at least try a Google search first.
Just say 'NO' to evaluated arguments for diadic functions! Ash

For monitoring when a PC is started up, you'll need a service. For shutting down, you'll need to respond to the WM_ENDSESSION message.

Hello,

what can I do in order the listbox will be update outomatically?
thanks

This is not the default behavior of a listbox. What setting(s) have you changed?

Greetings folks!
I created a DIB section with 4 bits per pixel, so 16 colors. I selected this DIB into a DC and am trying to draw into it using FillSolidRect and Ellipse, but all i get are zeroes in the pixel data. I specified the palette entries when creating the DIB, i also tried creating a CPalette from the DIB's palette and selecting it for the DC before drawing but no matter what i do i get nothing but zeroes. All the drawing code succeeds, so there's no visible indication of failure. What might i be doing wrong here? Here's some stripped down code:
unsigned char BIHeadMem[sizeof(BITMAPINFO) + 16 * sizeof(RGBQUAD)] = {0};
BITMAPINFO &BIHead = *(BITMAPINFO *)BIHeadMem;
BIHead.bmiHeader.biSize = sizeof(BIHead.bmiHeader);
BIHead.bmiHeader.biBitCount = 4;
BIHead.bmiHeader.biClrImportant = 0;
BIHead.bmiHeader.biClrUsed = 0;
BIHead.bmiHeader.biCompression = BI_RGB;
BIHead.bmiHeader.biSizeImage = 0;
BIHead.bmiHeader.biXPelsPerMeter = 0;
BIHead.bmiHeader.biYPelsPerMeter = 0;
BIHead.bmiHeader.biWidth = 32;
BIHead.bmiHeader.biHeight = -32;
BIHead.bmiHeader.biPlanes = 1;
for (int I = 0; I < 16; I++)
{
BIHead.bmiColors[I].rgbRed = BIHead.bmiColors[I].rgbBlue = BIHead.bmiColors[I].rgbGreen = (BYTE)I;
BIHead.bmiColors[I].rgbReserved = 0;
}
void *DummyPixels;
CBitmap bmp;
bmp.Attach(CreateDIBSection(NULL, &BIHead, DIB_RGB_COLORS, &DummyPixels, NULL, 0));
CDC memDC;
memDC.CreateCompatibleDC(NULL);
memDC.SelectObject(&bmp);
memDC.FillSolidRect(0, 0, fSizeCache.WellSize, fSizeCache.WellSize, RGB(0, 0, 0));
CPen pen;
CBrush brush(RGB(2, 2, 2));
pen.CreatePen(PS_SOLID, 1, RGB(1, 1, 1));
memDC.SelectObject(&brush);
memDC.SelectObject(&pen);
memDC.Ellipse(0, 0, 32, 32);
When i check the memory pointed at by DummyPixels, it's all zeroes, if i write to this memory "manually" the palette indexes from 0 to 15 i get what i expect when blitting the DIB to antoher DC, so the DIB itself should be ok. I guess the problem here is something completely obvious and i am just not aware of it. Thanks in advance for any help.

I have a toolbar that uses a drop-down list. The list is owner-drawn and based on CListBox. It's displayed when the user pressing a button in the toolbar. When the toobar is floated outside the main window and the list is dropped, the list is clipped to the main window. Anyone know how to override that behavior?
I tried changing the parent from the main window to the desktop window but the draw messages don't get reflected to the list box.
I tried it with and without the WS_CHILD attribute.

I need a MFC app which I can give a directory and it will create a list of all files within that directory and sub directories. From this list it will then check the last time each file was modified. What would be the best way of going about this? I think of several ways of doing it but would like an opinion on what other people think would be the best way forward. Thanks.

FindFirstFile, FindNextFile, should do it quite easily. Just need to look at what you need to pass to it in terms of parameters. Or use CFileFind for straight MFC.
