Hello, how can I send/receive serial data in Visual Basic using 9 bits? I'm developing some equipment that comunicates with each other using 9 bits (the 9th bit indicates the start of a packet when set). Now I'm needing to make a PC application in Visual Basic to comunicate with this gear, but the MSComm control only works with 6/7/8 bit width.
