result |
Boolean return value. true or false. Will be false if a byte could not be read from the receive buffer (ie if the buffer was empty) |

Example. |
|
| |
|
Dim b as Byte
If Comm1.getByte( b ) = True Then
'// b contains the byte that was read
Else
'// No data was read - buffer was empty
End If
'// This example will attempt to read one byte from the receive buffer. This function retreives the byte as a numeric byte value. Not as a string/character. Use this function to read/receive byte values in the range 0 to 255
You do NOT need to change the OutputMode property. The getByte function ALWAYS reads a numeric byte value. |
