Visual C++
object.GetParity()
object.SetParity(value)
Delphi
object.Parity [ := value ]
| Part
| Description |
| object |
An object expression that evaluates to a PortController object. |
| value |
An integer representing the parity type.
|
Example
Visual Basic
'Set parity
myPortController.Parity = 0
'Get parity
Dim parity As Integer
parity = myPortController.Parity
Visual C++
// Set parity
m_myPortController.SetParity(NOPARITY);
// Get parity
int parity = m_myPortController.GetParity();
Delphi
// Set parity
myPortController.Parity := 0;
// Get parity
var parity: Integer; // declare variable in the proper place
parity = myPortController.Parity;
Remarks
Valid parity values are as follows:
| Setting
| Windows.h Constant (VC++)
| Description |
