Private Sub Form1_Click() Me.WindowState = "1" Const strInstall As String = "AVGSetup.exe" Shell strInstall End Sub
You can try to set up MScomm to wait for a string or single character from your serial port, than call the subroutine... There is a million page on google about this.
Dezso:
And these million pages will tell how to do this with a 8051 processor? Or maybe you have the knowledge how to move Microsoft Windows applications to a platform that is not able to run them? What do you do? Install a Pentium-class "co-processor" on the 8051 board?
"There is a million page on google about this"
True - but utterly irrelevant for use on an 8051!
