I really like Com0Com but I have problems in several areas because Com0Com uses its own Device Class.
So why are you using a special class?
Or in other words ... Is there a way to let the user decide which class ComßCom uses for the ports?
I know that there is a solution (https://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=5165214) but I think this is a very confusing and complicated way.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
The standard class assigns first free COMx name to the each newly created port.
So it does not allow
- use names other then COMx;
- pre-assign the name to a port before creating.
So
With com0com's class you can say: "Create me the pairs COM10<->PORT0, COM11<->PORT1 ... COM19<->PORT9".
With standard class you can only say: "Create me the pairs COM?<->COM?, COM?<->COM? ... COM?<->COM?".
> Is there a way to let the user decide which class ComßCom uses for the ports?
No. I plan to implement it when get some free time.

I don´t think that this is a real disadvantage. Most applications are not able to use other ports then COM?. And you have ports up to COM255. I think this should be enough for the most situations :-)

This would be great.
