Serial Port Setup Dialog

[teberle]

All,

Instead of creating your own serial port setup dialog you can use the Vixen.Dialogs.SerialSetupDialog class. Just add a button, a click event and then instantiate the dialog. You can then get the serial port object buy calling the selectedPort accessor method. I am using this in a new plugin I am writing.

There are also several other dialogs available in the namespace Vixen.Dialogs.

Just out of curiousity, this dialog is capable of full enumeration of serial ports. It won't just do COM1-COM4... right?

It stops at 99. That should be enough.

Er - does it do what I did for my Serial plugins - get the active serial ports, and show only them? Because we're working with .Net, a CLI system, there is always the possibility that Vixen may become cross-platform at one point, so choosing the serial port from the .Net classes is better than just giving COM1, COM2, ... COM99.

I haven't taken a look yet (too busy with my lovely linux distro, Debian), but I'm going to take a look at it later once I've moved my development stuff across computers.

The relevant code is:


// Initialise the variable.
string[] AvaliablePorts;

// Get the avaliable ports.
AvaliablePorts = SerialPort.GetPortNames();

No, it doesn't do that, but thanks for the code.
