Please help me, SerialPort in VC++

[Dadkhah]

Hi.
I using this Thread "Serial port communication using C++ = "http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread56329.html"
and I change it for solved the some error in program.
This is my source code:

serial.h

using namespace std;
HANDLE SerialInit(char*, int);
char SerialGetc(HANDLE*);
void SerialPutc(HANDLE*, char);

	bPortReady = SetCommState(hCom, &dcb);
	bPortReady = GetCommTimeouts (hCom, &CommTimeouts); 
	CommTimeouts.ReadIntervalTimeout = 5000;
	CommTimeouts.ReadTotalTimeoutConstant = 5000;
	CommTimeouts.ReadTotalTimeoutMultiplier = 1000;
	CommTimeouts.WriteTotalTimeoutConstant = 5000;
	CommTimeouts.WriteTotalTimeoutMultiplier = 1000; 
	bPortReady = SetCommTimeouts (hCom, &CommTimeouts); 
	return hCom;
}
char SerialGetc(HANDLE *hCom)
{
	char rxchar;
	BOOL bReadRC;
	static DWORD iBytesRead;
	bReadRC = ReadFile(*hCom, &rxchar, 1, &iBytesRead, NULL); 
	return rxchar;
} 
void SerialPutc(HANDLE *hCom, char txchar)
{
	BOOL bWriteRC;
	static DWORD iBytesWritten;
	bWriteRC = WriteFile(*hCom, &txchar, 1, &iBytesWritten,NULL); 
	return;
}
int main()
{
	HANDLE my=SerialInit("com2",1200);
	//HANDLE* ptr; 
	char letter;
	while(1)
	{
	
	*ptr=my; // this line have error: Unhandled exception at 0x00411754 in serial.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation writing location 0x00000000..

	letter=SerialGetc(ptr);
	printf("",letter);
	
	
	
	}
	getch(); 
	return 0; 
}

And I change "*ptr=my" to "ptr=&my" and error is solved.
but I don't sure this change solved my problem beacase I don't resive any thinge.
please help me for solved my problem.
I very very need to solve this problem.
TNX FOR ALL.........

DON'T DO THAT! CreateFile is declared in windows.h. Fix the error instead of trying to code around it. If you want to use char* then don't compile your program for UNICODE. To do that select Project --> Project Options (bottom of the menu list) --> Configuration Properties --> General. Then on the right side of the screen change Character Set dropdown to Not Set.
