MTTTY Sample Program

Anyone know where I can find this sample program? It seems to be no longer attached to the MSDN article by Alan Deaver.

Many thanks.:confused:

I have the copy but I can't remeber where I gpt it so I attached it to this post.

That was very quick.
Is much appreciated.

thank you

i realize this is a very old thread, but what to use to compile this? I tried with vs2017 but there are too many errors. I have checked the paths and all is good. Any help would be great.

thanks

What kind of errors do you have?
What are you trying to achieve: just to compile a very old sample or to get a working code for serial communication? Or something else?

How are you compiling - using mttty.mak or from VS IDE Build/Build Solution?

Thanks for the quick response guys.

I wanted to use this program for serial communication because the cr and lf commands are working in the window, there are very few terminals that actually work like this. I would also like to implement the ansii esc sequences.

Because this terminal moves the window cursor in a specific way, it is better than most vb or other terminals out there.

I am compiling it with vs2017. the version i downloaded is from here:

https://github.com/bmo/mttty

the readme says that it will compile in vs2017.

i can post a screenshot of the errors if you need

Since you posted your question in the MFC forum I would recommend you some great articles with sample code using MFC:
Serial Port I/O
A set of C++ classes for Win32 serial ports

Please, not a screenshot! Just copy/paste a couple of complete error messages from Output window together with the lines that produce the errors.

Don't believe everything you read! Create a new project and open the .sln file. This will create the solution with the required .c/.h files etc. You then need to make changes to two of the source files

init.c

Add after the #include statements:

Code:

---

#pragma comment(lib, "Comctl32")
#pragma comment(lib, "Winmm")

---

settings.c

Add after the #include <stdio.h> statement:

Code:

---

#include <conio.h>

---

This now compiles OK on my system (with a couple of warnings about duplicate dialog control ids) and the generated .exe file runs and shows the expected window etc.
