Title: Can't use GetCommPorts()
Post by: exit0 on February 17, 2023, 08:37:15 am

I've tried to get a full list of serial interfaces available with many different techniques. Some other people told me to use "GetCommPorts()" function instead of iterating through the registry myself, but the CB IDE doesn't seem to know that function, even if i include <winbase.h> like told in the MS docs here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winbase/nf-winbase-getcommports
And also having a "#pragma comment (lib, "OneCore.lib")" does not change anything. The compiler complains about an unknown function and also the IDE does not show up this function in the context-help.

General programming is OT here.

Maybe it will help you on your next question. This one is off topic as the prior poster stated.
