RS-232 Parity Check in Windows Mobile 6.1

According to MSDN, the fParity member of DCB structure is boolean.

If this member is set to TRUE, parity checking is performed, and errors are reported

So, how can I set even or odd parity checking when my application opens the serial port?

PS: I'm writing a minimalistic terminal application for Windows Mobile 6.1 using a FT232RL chip.

Solution

  • Yes, fParity enables parity checking. Also note the Parity field, a BYTE. It selects the kind of parity checking you want. Five options but you'd typically choose EVENPARITY or ODDPARITY.
