NC Transfer Program

[speedracer]

Matt,
Thanks for the information. Your program is really sweet! Nice work!

Could you give me an example of the syntax to send an argument to scomm. Also, how can i tell if the port select is enable or not. I would like for scomm to just send whatever i send it and not prompt to select a port.

What lang are you programming in? VB6 or VBnet would be my guess.

Thanks again,
Brian

Brian, thanks.

The syntax is very simple, just the program's path/name, a space, then the file to send's path/name.

c:\program files\scomm\scomm.exe c:\ncfiles\customer\file.ncf

If you're always going to send from the same port, then disable "Prompt with Polling" under Options\System Settings. Doing this will launch SComm and send the file.

I programmed it in VB6, but am considering a migration to VB.net. (So far my experience with .net has resulted in much longer load times for apps that should load very quickly.)

If you're comfortable with computers, you can add SComm to the right mouse menu for explorer, so you can just select a file from there, right click and send it that way.

Hi,
I just installed Scomm on XP and had no incidents. The program is nicely laid out. I am interested in incorporating comm into my Autocad abased cam program at the source code level.

If that may be possible please sen me a private message.

Thanks,
Jim
