Visual Basic: MSComm Control
Output Property
Writes a stream of data to the transmit buffer. This property is not available at design time and is write-only at run time.
Syntax
object.Output [ = value ]
The Output property syntax has these parts:
| Part | Description |
| object | An object expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list. |
| value | A string of characters to write to the transmit buffer. |
Remarks
The Output property can transmit text data or binary data. To send text data using the Output property, you must specify a Variant that contains a string. To send binary data, you must pass a Variant which contains a byte array to the Output property.
Normally, if you are sending an ANSI string to an application, you can send it as text data. If you have data that contains embedded control characters, Null characters, etc., then you will want to pass it as binary data.
