InstallComCallback
int status = InstallComCallback (int COMPort, int eventMask, int notifyCount,
int eventCharacter, ComCallbackPtr callbackPtr,
void *callbackData);
Note: This function is available only in the Windows version of LabWindows/CVI.
Purpose
This function allows you to install a callback function for a particular COM port. The callback
function is called whenever any of the events specified in the eventMask parameter occur on the
COM port and you allow the system to process events. The system can process events in the
following situations.
• You have called RunUserInterface and none of your callback functions is currently
executing, or
• You call GetUserEvent, or
• You call ProcessSystemEvents
Only one callback function can apply for each COM port. Each call to this function for the same
COM port supersedes the previous call.
To disable callbacks for a board or device, pass 0 for the eventMask and/or callbackFunction
parameters.
