 Reading /Writing on Serial Port

Does anyone know an API for reading/Writing
on the Serial (RS-232) Port ?

I've use an OCX called MSComm that works fine, but now I need to do it via
API.
(the purpose is to read Data from a measurement device)

Thanks In Advance,

Search for "CreateFile serial port" on MSDN. You will probably come up
with an article called "Serial Communications in Win32", read that
first.
