Whats my LTP port addr in VB Short?

[Pinter75]

Howdy,

I am using inpout32.dll to access my parallel port via VB and XP.

When the port is 0379 (VB) &H379S (378+1 cos I need to access the ststus pins) everything is fine.

___________________________________________________________

'Inp and Out declarations for port I/O using inpout32.dll.
Public Declare Function Inp Lib "inpout32.dll" Alias "Inp32" (ByVal PortAddress As Short) As Short

MyValue = Inp(&H378S)

BUT.....

If I try this on a PC that has no on-board parallel port but an add in PCI card, how do I get the I/O port address?

It is:

BC00-BC07

I would have thought that using &HBC01S in VB would work, but nope nada!

Any one got any ideas?

Ta.

Have you tried looking at the properties of the port in device manager?

Ahh, all fixed, &HBC01S is correct and working. I had DLPort installed which was interfering with it.
