Trying out Serial comm

[Henning]

Hi,

The Q7bSerialPort is really hard to deal with...
The goal is a Formless app running as a service.

Code: Select all

Declare Signal "Q7BSerialPort" void OnEvent();

Public Dim sp As Q7BSerialPort

Sub OpenComm()
  sp.SetBaudRate("BAUD19200")
  sp.setDataBits("DATA_8")
  sp.SetFlowControl("FLOW_HARDWARE")
  sp.SetParity("PAR_NONE")
  sp.SetStopBits("STOP_2")
  sp.SetPortName("COM1")
  sp.Open   'if I add the parens() I get a Syntax Error..
End Sub

Event Init()
  OpenComm()
'  MsgBox("Init")

End Event


This is the error, both in Q7b and QrCreator:

Henning,
Have had this one in the past.
Take the Global.ccp file and navigate to the lines mentioned.
(now from my head from some time ago)
in each line there is a part beginning with Q7BS place a ';' before it and this error will disappear.
I had this while i was trying Q7B to compile on OpenSuse 64bit.

Looks like a regression bug. When a C++ (native) is used the compiler forgets to place a character. sorry

@Slowdown, That makes it inpossible to compile using Q7b...

@Bernd, project suspended...

Slowdown, That makes it inpossible to compile using Q7b...

i know, but you can test it till B will correct the error

Hi again,

This misspelling is what triggered this Error:
sp.setDataBits("DATA_8")
Changing to:
sp.SetDataBits("DATA_8")
And that error was corrected.

Also while I'm on. What is the prefered place to store and access the "Q7BSerialPort" .cpp and .h files, so the stay thru a Clean and Rebuild? I've copied them to the Build directory, but that is lost after a Clean and Rebuid.

FORGET the above.... they are in the cpp directory...

Me again,

As soon as I change something, and klick on Run, all the SerialPort .cpp and .h files are removed from the gcc directory...

What to do???

Is it not possible to create and run a 'console' app. without any GUI?

If i understand it correctly the files from the ccp directory (and if present from the Copy directory) are copied to the gcc/build directory each time you compile.
If i read U correctly they are removed from the gcc directory and not replaced ?

Is it not possible to create and run a 'console' app. without any GUI?

didn't tried that yet.

Solved the lost SerialPort .cpp and .h files from gcc directory by making then ReadOnly..

!!CAUTION TO ALL WHO INTEND TO USE Q7BSerialPort!!
DO NOT! Copy the file Q7BSerialPort\main.cpp to the gcc directory, it will screw things up.

Got it Compiling AND Running (partly) now.

Hi Henning,

DO NOT! Copy the file Q7BSerialPort\main.cpp to the gcc directory

Don't understand you here.
You have,

Code: Select all

Project directory TCU -> cpp -> Serialport sources and headers
                      -> your Q7B files


Q7B will copy the files from cpp to gcc if you compile the project or do i miss something ?
