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.
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.
