This I/O control message sets the time-out parameters for all read/write operations on a specified communications device. Send this message with DeviceIoControl.

Syntax

BOOL DeviceIoControl(
    HANDLE hDevice,           // handle to the device
    DWORD dwIoControlCode,    // use IOCTL_SERIAL_SET_TIMEOUTS
    LPVOID lpInBuffer,        // pointer to input buffer
    DWORD nInBufferSize,      // input buffer size
    LPVOID lpOutBuffer,       // pointer to output buffer
    DWORD nOutBufferSize,     // output buffer size
    LPDWORD lpBytesReturned,  // number of bytes returned
    OVERLAPPED lpOverlapped   // pointer to OVERLAPPED structure
);

Parameters

• hDevice
  [in] Handle to the device. To obtain a device handle, call COM_Open.

• dwIoControlCode
  [in] Control code for the operation. Use IOCTL_SERIAL_SET_TIMEOUTS for this operation.

• lpInBuffer
  [in] Pointer to a COMMTIMEOUTS structure.

• nInBufferSize
  Set to sizeof(COMMTIMEOUTS).

• lpOutBuffer
  Ignored.

• nOutBufferSize
  Ignored.

• lpBytesReturned
  Ignored.

• lpOverlapped
  Ignored.

Return Values

Returns TRUE if successful; otherwise, returns FALSE.
