bool OpenPort(const std::wstring PortName, HANDLE& hCOM)
{
    hCOM = CreateFileW(PortName,  // LPCWSTR lpFileName
                                  /* ... */ );
}

Note that this should all be unicode. I have tried everything and I can't seem to figure it out. What do I put for the first parameter of CreateFileW?

PortName.c_str()
