 How to access the USB through a control or API?

Hi ,
I had a previous App. using the Comm Control to access the Com ports (1 through 16) and now I want to run a new version and instead of Serial Connection I nedd to use a USB. Unfortunately I was unsuccessful using the Comm control. Is any other way, like using API calls?

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Leo

Hi,

No.  If your USB device implements its driver properly, the Windows communications API should be all that you need.  MSComm simply wraps the Windows communications API.  What information do you have on your USB device?
