Thanx for the advise but if I understand what you're saying
( im french so .... misunderstanding is something common)
Im already doing something like that
ScanComm scan the buffer until I receive a <CR><LF>
Carriage Return & Line Feed caracter
This is my "end of line" mark...
when I hit a crlf I assume this is a complete message and I handle it to do
something
like example...
VB apps on the other side sends: UserName: Chose Machin<CR><LF>
when ScanComm find the CR LF it takes all the string and send it to
MsgHandle so that I find what it is:
( whats in MsgHandle )
If "the received string has" UserName: in it
Get the text after the : and display it there....
end if
.... some other if statement....
