I am trying to write a program that can recognize signals sent from
remote control and received from a USB IrDA receiver. Is it possible
to use MSCOMM control to accomplish this (especially the IrDA receiver
is using USB instead of serial port)? Sample code is appreciated (even
sample using MSCOMM control on serial port)

Thank you very much in advance!

Hello Eric,

You have different solutions to your request:
1) you buy a cart to connect a USB device to a serial device (USB on the
PC and Serial to the terminal system). You will have a COM port. You can
use it as you like, and as a COM port.
2) you developp a driver to drive USB as COM device. But it may take a
long time.

Nice fitting.

Laurent
