Title: Setting Parity via combo box drop down list in VB 2010
Post by: titan2020 on October 07, 2011, 09:59:11 am

Hello,

I'm writing an application that will use the SerialPort class. It will have a com port setup form that will have combo boxes for the port properties. Setting the PortName, BaudRate and DataBits are no problem. How can I set the SerialPort.Parity, SerialPort.StopBits, and SerialPort.Handshake to the selected values in their respective combo boxes.

Thank you,

Use your existing combobox code as a model. Replace DataBits with Parity, StopBits, or Handshake and edit the combobox data as appropriate. My ComPortTerminal application has a Handshake example.
