I am looking for a solution for a common problem many developers must face - a generic way to access/control an LCD from a VB or VC++ programming environment.
Is anybody aware of an ActiveX EXE that supports the following generic interfaces:
1) SendText - a method to send text to the display at a particular location
2) ClearScreen - a method to clear the display or part of the display
3) InputSelect - an event that is triggered in response to a button press or other input activity on the LCD.
4) SetupLCD - a method which allows you to configure the properties of your LCD: rows, columns, etc
5) Advanced methods to allow for graphic/font uploading , etc.
6) PortSelect - a method which selects the communications interface and sets comm properties: COM1,19.2,n,8,1, etc...
Thanks for your help...
