SerialPort in Windows XP dosn't receive data while Application Window is moved #144

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
I using QextSerialPort to communicate with an Microcontroller over an 
USB-to-RS232 Converter. To do that, I use the the EventDriven mode. 

All works fine until I move the Application Window. While moving the 
Application window, the received data is buffered somewhere and is send after I 
stop moving the Application Window arround.

My Question: Is there a way to receive data from QextSerialPort while other 
window events occur? 

I using version 1.2beta2.

I had the same problem. The solution is: separate GUI and QextSerialPort 
communication to different Threads. This will also improve the performance of 
the serial port functionality.

I notice that QT's QSerialPort will fix this issue in their up-and-coming 5.5 
release

https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-34946
https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/71871/

It says the the above pages to use the QWinOverlappedIoNotifier instead of the 
QWinEventNotifier. 
QExtSerialPort includes <QtCore/QWinEventNotifier> in qextserialport_win.cpp. 
If I upgrade my QT to 5.5, will this stream issue be fixed? Or, will my 
Qextserialport code need changed?

I know having separate threads will fix any issues, but due to the length of 
code and my lack of experience, this maybe hard for me to implement.
