Break

This property sets or clears the break signal state of a Comm control.

Syntax

object.Break [ = value]

Parameters

object

Object expression that evaluates to a Comm control.

value

Boolean expression that specifies whether the break signal state is set. The following table shows the settings for value.

Value	Description
True	Sets the break signal state
False	Clears the break signal state

Remarks

The Break property is unavailable at design time. When set to True, Break sends a break signal. The break signal suspends character transmission and places the transmission line in a break state until you set Break to False. Typically, you set the break state for a short interval of time, and only if a device requires a set break signal.
