PICCORO LENZ MCKAY reported a new bug.

Summary
-------

serial port implementation constants are bad and uncompleted!/miscdocumented!

Type             : Bug
Priority         : High
Gambas version   : 3.6
Product          : Networking components


Description
-----------

the documented SerialPort in wiki (both older and newer today wiki documentation ) are lack of responsability

the documentation of FlowControl are not property documented, there 5 kinds of opertaion flow controls and only hare valid two http://gambaswiki.org/wiki/comp/gb.net/serialport/flowcontrol here there 4 operational but the lasted "Both" are invalid and also the XonXoff are not implementad or documented.. 

others constans are also bad.. but that its the most easy to demostrate!

user must force with integer to 2 (both for my serial fiscal printer) and in documentation said 3 (SerialPort.Both) http://gambaswiki.org/wiki/comp/gb.net/serialport/both

or the documentation are bad or the component are bad!

the example are good (or bad depends of the vision of the error) duie are working (or bad documented or translated)

THE PROBLEM ARE SINCE GAMBAS 3.4, was tested with 3.5 (debian), 3.6 (debian), 3.8 (ppa stable)

i want to said one thing very clear: if gambas not take more seriously the hardware communications will be difficult to include in serius languaje for boog systems such payroal, finger verification, chekpint access.. 

please take more serously those components that are very important for people, python are ugly and php need more that php!

thanks in advance!
