Thanks Jaben. I expected this answer. :) Definitely I can't do that as of now.
But do you think this would cause mismatch between the handle index that i get in my application? The handle index I'm getting is differing, even if the handle value is same. And, could you suggest any other ways to fix this, other than embedding my app into the shell? Or do you suggest my temporary workaround , in which I'm embedding my own sermode functionality inside my application ? The functionality​ is working and I'm able to use com port. But it's annoying to have different information in app than a shell command! :( Thanks again.
