Serial Port /COM Port UDF

[markem]

I just discovered this DLL and au3 script. It looks fantastic. My one "however" is - have you thought of including (for Windows people of course) a function that does a MODE command? The MODE command (windows dos cli) returns the information about all communication ports currently in use. Like so:Which would allow you to know all about whichever com port you want to use. It is also easy to parse (at least in PHP it is). You just shift each line off of the array and look for things like "Status for devce" and so forth. A lot easier than trying to guess what each communication port is set up like.
