"If you cannot see a given port under the output list box, then you cannot use it. I'm 100% sure of that"
By this, I take it you mean that you checked the program, and it tries all COM ports to see if they are free? How does it check that? Is that a registry thing, or an API provided in Windows Mobile? If either, is it possible that things have changed in WM5? I am just confused that your program is able to see that 5, 6 and 7 are actually used, but Franson DeviceX does not see the same thing. Clearly, something is wrong with the Franson program, since it does look like 6 and 7 should be marked as used (looking at the Bluetooth panel).
This is such a mess, no doubt thanks to Microsoft!

I populate the input list from the info existing on the registry. This is the reason that some (input) ports are missing: they are not "declared" on the registry of your device (in this case you can write the name as COMx)
But the output list is filled by checking (via api call) ALL ports not found in the input list.
You can see your registry using PHM Registr Editor, for instance. Look under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\ your serial ports (prefix COM)

Hi jaluna,
I have a problem with my X51v (WM5) and my GPSlim236.
In my the bluetooth settings panel, COM ports tab, it shows:
HOLUX GPSlim236 (COM8)
Incoming Port (COM7)
In Port Splitter :
Input : COM1, COM2, COM3, COM5
Output : COM0, COM4, COM6, COM9
I can't see the 3 bluetooth serial ports. I only have the BT COM 5 UART.
I've verified in the registry and I've nothing about COM 7 (input) and COM 8 (output) in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\xxx.
I've tried to see with the FRANSON's Devicex and nothing.
How can I select my input port ?
Have you any idea ?
Thanks in advance.

Some software are looking the ports in the registry.
How can I add the new COM port in the registry ?

Well, it's a little bit hard, no.
I try to use CEMonitor.
http://www.gpspassion.com/forumsen/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=17074
But this software go to find in the registry the list of the COM ports.
I've tried the microsoft's solution but without any effect.
I'm going to find another software like CEMonitor.
Thanks a lot for your Port Splitter.
Bye

Hello gpspassion,
I'm not agree with you.
I've tested this morning CE Monitor with GPSGate and it works.
GPSGate create a new COM port in the registry and after
CE Monitor see the new Port. So, it's not a WM5 problem.

Hello,
In theory this info is done by manufacturer. I don't advise you to fake it.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wceddk40/html/cxconRegistryEnumerator.asp
Using any free registry editor, you can enter the following sample device info.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\Sample]
"Dll" = "sampledev.Dll"
"Prefix" = "SMP"
"Index" = dword:1
"Order" = dword:0
"FriendlyName" = "Sample Controller"
"Ioctl" = dword:0
The Franson's key is like that :
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\Franson\bizVManager2]
"DeviceArrayIndex" = 2
"Dll" = "bizVSerialCE.Dll"
"FriendlyName" = "Franson MGR2"
"Index" = dword:2
"Order" = dword:0
"Prefix" = "MGR"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\Franson\bizVSerial4]
"DeviceArrayIndex" = 4
"Dll" = "bizVSerialCE.Dll"
"FriendlyName" = "Franson COM4"
"Index" = dword:4
"Order" = dword:0
"Prefix" = "COM"
It will be good if the same thing was implemented in Port Splitter, no ? If it's possible, of course.
Have a nice day...

Port Splitter also create these keys, so that other programs automatically detect the created ports.

Oh, yes. You're right, I see your keys "extvsplitx".
Ok, Franson's software must do another thing.
The only difference is the "MGR" from franson.
So, as your Port Splitter works fine with other soft than CEMonitor,
I go to try SEWE now.

Hi,JAL,sorry,my english is not so good  .
I have tried your Port Splitter for over 3 months,It works fine for me .I found some other keys in the registry:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\JAL\Port Splitter]
"Baud"=dword:00000005
"Port"=dword:ffffff05
Can they be used to save the configuration?
Here is some ideas for next release
1.open the BlueTooth when starting splitter;
2.Start the splitter automatically with the OS(background);
3.Save the configuration easily;
Thanks,expecting for your next release
