Serial Communication Problem

Hi,


For the purpose of serial communication I am created two applications in vb6.0 and I am used SaxComm control for this purpose.

I am deployed both applications in two different pcs and both pcs are connected with null modem cable.


I want to assign the data entered in the text box of first application to the text box of second application.


From the first application I am sending data using the following code to write data to a serial port.

SaxComm1.output=Text1.Text 'Name of the text box is Text1

I am receiving data in the second application like below.

In the receive event of SaxComm control I am written the following code for the purpose of receiving data.

I tried this in two ways.

First Way
-------------

SaxComm1.InputMode = comInputModeBinary
Dim Buffer() As Byte
ReDim Buffer(SaxComm1.InBufferCount - 1)
Buffer = SaxComm1.Input
MsgBox (Buffer)
Dim I As Integer
For I = 0 To UBound(Buffer) - 1
Text1.SelText = str(Buffer(I))
Next I

Second Way
----------------

SaxComm1.InputMode = comInputModeText
Dim str As String
SaxComm1.InputLen = 0
str = SaxComm1.Input
Text1.Text =str

when I want to assign it text box the data is not coming properly as how I am entered in the first system.


in the first way when I entered HI it shown the data in the text box as 84.

in the second way nothing is showing in the text box.

I kept watch on str. the value of str is shown as like below

what is the problem exactly and can anybody tell me what modification i need to do if I want to assign the text what I entered in the first application as its in the text box of second application??

when I used MSComm32 control I am able to do the same thing.I am getting issue with SaxComm control only.

Thanks in advance.
