ok first let me introduce myself...Im Tim
im 18 yrs old and live in the UK

basically i decided earlier in the year to create a visual basic program to output to my lcd for my a-level computing course... and today i have nealy finished...jus gotta handle a few errors and neaten my code

but although i am done for my a-level i am not however done just yet..there are still things i want to build in

the main current thing i want to build in is the retreival of data from the lcd for example... i want to ber able to make it so on click of a button it sends out the code for the version number and then this is returned and outputted to say a message box.

i can do the sending of commands but i dont have a clue about recieving events such as version number etc from the lcd

if someone would be kind enough to show and explain in VB how i would do this i would be very grateful

Tim
