Re: Asynchronous I/O development in CE

Use separate threads for the overlapped parts. There's no restriction in
Windows CE on different threads in your application sending or receiving
data from a serial port (although it's obviously going to be somewhat
strange if you have several threads receiving data).

Hi,

I got that asynchronous serial communication is supported but overlapped
I/O
is not supported. Thanks for the information.

I have a serial communication application(ATL Free threading model based)
that is developed for desktop side and I ported it to Win CE but that uses
overlapped I/O and it is necessary to have that functionality. The
application uses GetOverlappedResult and CancelIo API's but that doesnot
support in Win Ce.

What changes I should make to the application to support overlapped I/O.
If
anyone is having a sample application on how to implement overapped I/O in
Win CE, please provide me.
Your help on this is greatly appreciated.

Hi All,

I'm developing an serial communication application for a CE 3.0 hand
held
device where it requires asynchronous I/O but I know that CE doesn't
support
it.
How should I go ahead to implement now? Should I ask my OEM to provide a
serial driver that supports asynchronous functinality? The other device
that
we are communicating with the CE hand held does require asynchronous I/O
communication.
