hi

when i started using a maskedit box in my program, it ended responding
to Ctrl-X.

this is a part of my program:
first part:

private sub name( )
    MaskEdBox1(0).Enabled = False
end sub

second part:   (this one should not only respond to a menuklick, but
also to Ctrl-X, wich i specified in the menu editor)

Private Sub name2( )

    MaskEdBox1(0).Enabled = True

    Main.MaskEdBox1(0).Mask = ""         'maskbox is cleand and then the
mask is set again
    Main.MaskEdBox1(0).Text = ""
    Main.MaskEdBox1(0).Mask = "99:99:99"

End Sub

I was looking for literature but I couldn't find it, so I would like if anyone
could help me on this: how do you send signals to lpt or com port from visual
basic? Do you need some plug in or is it possible to code? Has anyone done this?
I've never tried anything like it but I want to learn more about it, so if you
have any knowledge of it, or know some site where I could find something about
it... I also program in Turbo Pascal, if that can help. I have parallel socket
(no cable, just pins stickining out on the outer side) and a led to test it,
just to see if it works.

Please send me a note of suggestion.

Thanks,

Hrvoje
