I don't use MSCOMM control at all :o))) This is a buggy control not a VFP. I cerated my own FLL lybrary, based on the class writen in C++ from
http://home.ict.nl/~ramklein/Projects/Serial.html. Unfortunately it is not universal, I changed it according to my needs. I am too lazy to make it universal :o((, but hope someday I'll do it.
BTW Why you need this control in container?
