Hi All, I have been using BCB6 and TurboPower Async Pro for almost ten years now. The majority of my programs require support for serial ports. Recently, I decided to upgrade to C++ Builder 2010. Much to my dismay, I then discovered that Async Pro does not work with CB 2010. My CB 2010 now sits collecting dust. Radhe bhajan.

There seem to be several issues at play here. One is Unicode. Another is the that all the current supporters of Async Pro are Delphi guys. Another problem is that CB 2010, unlike BCB 6, does not compile Delphi packages. I don't understand all the details but it seems clear that Async Pro is a dead end for C++ Builder programmers.

Mar 30, 2018 - I am frustrated to get serial port working. I think maybe something wrong with this LazSerial component on my computer might not working. Returns True, if you can write any data to the port (this function is not sending the contents of the buffer). Status is tested for a period of time given by the Timeout parameter (in milliseconds). Status is tested for a period of time given by the Timeout parameter (in milliseconds).

I would like to know if there are other packages out there that are known to work with CB 2010, preferably ones that don't cost hundreds of dollars. Also, does anyone know why, after all these years, Borland/Emvbarcadero has never provided serial support? Thanks for any help.

Daniel Bissett That's a question that much other people does. The only people that uses CB instead of Visual C++ or GNU in the business sector I work are those related to hardware stuff that needs communicate with a PC, for example utilities to save configuration in boards and/or vending machines with a PC into them and so. All people has solved their way. Some had done a simple component. Other uses a class that encapsulates CreateFile/WriteFile/ReadFile stuff, other uses old MSCOMM OCX control, but all does it as a temporary solution until 'borland' will add a serial port component.
