#93 Issue with the auto-open and auto-close command line parameter

[Pascal Kronenberg]

Hi Simon,
I've an issue with the auto-open and auto-close command line parameter (OPEN). Can you please explain how to use this? I've tried OPEN=1 to set the auto-open but nothing happened...

p.s. the issue only seems to concern the activeX mode. DoCommands (open=1) doesn't set auto-open.

ActiveX OPEN opens the port, it doen't have the secondary function of setting the autoopen checkbox.

I think that was probably deliberate: activeX being under program control, I expect your program to open the port, and check/reopen as needed.

Interesting that DoCommands doesn't set it, the code looks like it should work -IsRemoteCommand never seems to be set.

   if (param='CLOSED') then begin
     if IsRemoteCommand
       then Port1.Open:= not (reference='1')
       else Port1.AutoOpen:= not (reference='1');
   end;
   if (param='OPEN') then begin
     if IsRemoteCommand
       then Port1.Open:= not (reference='0')
       else begin
         Port1.AutoOpen:= not (reference='0');
         CheckboxPortAutoOpen.Checked:=Port1.AutoOpen;
       end;
   end;
