Virtual Serial Port Control - Virtual RS232 ActiveX

Create custom virtual serial ports and fully control them

Virtual Serial Port ActiveX Control enables your application to control virtual ports, emulating all settings of real COM ports, so that for other Windows applications the emulated ports look just like real ones. It also allows your application to intercept data sent to the virtual serial port by other applications and respond to them by sending your own data to the virtual port, which those applications will view as data incoming from a real port.

Virtual Serial Port ActiveX Control offers you a number of advantages:

Comprehensive control of virtual ports

Virtual Serial Port ActiveX Control enables your application to create, delete, and fully control virtual COM ports, indistinguishable from real ones for other applications. You can intercept data sent to the virtual COM port by other applications and respond by sending your own data.
