Just open the serial port as normal - then redirect as shown below
static void CommsEnableInfrared()
{
SerControl(SerialRef, serCtlIrDAEnable, 0, 0);
}
static void CommsDisableInfrared()
{
SerControl(SerialRef, serCtlIrDADisable, 0, 0);
}

Subject: Serial Communication via IR
Has anyone ever tried this, without going the IrDA route/or using the
Exchange manager? I'm trying to develop an application and all the
overhead of the IrDA stack is not really needed. I'm trying to get a
Palm to communicate to a non-Palm. I will be writing software for the
other platform(a PC) and will be using some Serial libraries to send and
receive data from the PC.
I'll just be sending some coordinate information back and forth between
the Palm and the non-Palm.
What is the best approach for doing this kind of communication between a
Palm and a non-Palm device...(IrDA, Serial over IR, etc.)?
Thanks in advance.
-James
