point.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=562330623-23112004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>But
one of the things I need to do, and ommitted from my original email, is I need
to add the data from a comport into a global variable until a #10 is received,
THEN it process the data.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=562330623-23112004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>All
the data I want to capture is preceeded with linefeed.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=562330623-23112004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>So if
I use your theory Matt, would this still work?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Jeremy, I would probably create a listener
thread which has your data processing routine in it or assigned to it, and
spawn it however many times you require.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=968515020-23112004><FONT face=Arial size=2>HI
all.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=968515020-23112004><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have a
situation where I may need to have multiple comports monitored in an
app.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=968515020-23112004><FONT face=Arial size=2>The number
comports could be from 1 (most common) to 4 to 8 or however
many.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=968515020-23112004><FONT face=Arial size=2>I think I would
want to limit the number at some stage to say 8, but this is yet to be
decided.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=968515020-23112004><FONT face=Arial
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=968515020-23112004><FONT face=Arial size=2>Anyway, I can
dynamically create the comports and set their properties etc, thats ok, BUT
the problem I forsee is, when it comes to receiving
data.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=968515020-23112004><FONT face=Arial size=2>ATM I use Async
Pro created on the form, and have the event to handle the data coming in
created and assigned etc.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=968515020-23112004>
<DIV><SPAN class=968515020-23112004><FONT face=Arial size=2>If I dynamically
create a control I prob. cant really assign the event to the same event at
the control that is created on the form, as it will prob. get data mixed up
etc.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=968515020-23112004><FONT face=Arial size=2>So, what would
be the best way to handle this?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=968515020-23112004><FONT face=Arial size=2>I guess I could
create 8 event handlers, but thats not exactly ideal.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=968515020-23112004><FONT face=Arial
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=968515020-23112004><FONT face=Arial size=2>Anyone got any
ideas?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=968515020-23112004><FONT face=Arial

<DIV><SPAN class=968515020-23112004><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks,
