It's not clear in your original post what it is that you actually want to do. Do you want to access the clipboard from Basic4ppc, or do you want to access a serial port, or do both?
Hi agraham,
Sorry to take so long to respond.
Thanks for your interest and response.
Your query
>Do you want to access the clipboard from Basic4ppc, or do you want to access a serial port, or do both?
I want to access the clipboard then send the text as key board presses to a VNC client's window running on a HTC Mantle. This so the text is sent to another computer running a VNC server as if it was from the keyboard. The VNC client does not have clipboard sharing or a menu feature for pasting text to the VNC server.
Using shortcut key presses on the on screen keyboard in the VNC clients window to paste text such as “CTRL V” will not send text from the HTC's clipboard. If it worked at all the shortcut key presses would be sent to the VNC server and clipboard text from the server's clipboard would paste.
Browsing other languages for Visual Studio for both Visual Basic and C# use a “sendkeys” function. Unfortunately the “sendkeys” function was not made available for the “compact .net framework”. Some kind work around will be needed.
So not to confuse please leave serial port thoughts aside except to say a program “CeWedge” will send text from a serial port as if from keyboard.
Thanks again for your interest
