How To Initialize the SPMC Library

This section describes the steps you need to carry in order to successfully initialize the SPMC library.

Native Environment

1. Use the #import directive to bring definitions into the scope:

   #import "full_path_to_hhdspmc.dll"
   

   or

   #import "progid:hhdspmc.SerialMonitor.1.2"
   

   or

   #import "libid:DD962786-3734-4BE3-B375-5E6F3FD37E37" version("1.2")
   

2. Declare the pointer to the ISerialMonitor interface.

   ISerialMonitorPtr pSerialMonitor;
   

3. Create the instance of the SerialMonitor object.

   pSerialMonitor.CoCreateInstance(__uuidof(SerialMonitor));
   

   Remember that you cannot create more than one SerialMonitor object in single process. Although, you can have as many Monitor objects as you need.

Managed Environment

Use your language-provided tools to add the reference to the Serial Port Monitoring Control library into your project.
