Microsoft Comm Control 6.0

Hello,

BACKGROUND -
I've made a little circutboard with 6 little buttons on it 6 diodes one resistor and a Bi-Colour LED and have solderd it to a serial port cable....... using three inputs, IN-1 IN-2 IN-3, one PWR and one GND to make a remote control sorta thing...

OBJECTIVE-
Using the remote i wish to make a VB program to change what buttons mean and do...... e.g. Using it to skip tracks one day or changing it the next to skip chapters in a dvd.....
I can program all the skimpy stuff like "Open WINAMP" and stuff like that but i am having trouble with the hardware side, i have added the Microsoft Comm Control 6.0 and started to fiddle.
BUT HOW ??? when i recieve the data (and which form is the data in e.g TEXT or BINARY) how do i tell which button is pressed...??? Get me?
e.g. If button 1 is pressed what data do i recieve compared to button 3 or 4 etc "what is the diffewrence between Button2's data and button 3's data??"..............
i hope u can help.............

oh and heres a lookup table i made

B1 B2 B3 B4 B5 B6
BIT 1 1 0 1 0 1 0 In-1
BIT 2 0 1 1 0 0 1 In-2
BIT 3 0 0 0 1 1 1 In-3

hey< meza - try enclosing your predefined spacing in ['CODE']['/CODE'] tags, it will preserve what you have created.
