The SetLineControl method sets the line control register (LCR). The line control register controls the data size, the number of stop bits, and the parity.
Parameters:
- StopBits [out] : Number of stop bits to be used. This member can be one of the following values:
| Value | Meaning |
| 0 | 1 stop bit |
| 1 | 1.5 stop bits |
| 2 | 2 stop bits |
- Parity [out] : Parity scheme to be used. This member can be one of the following values:
| Value | Meaning |
| 0 | No parity |
| 1 | Odd |
| 2 | Even |
| 3 | Mark |
| 4 | Space |
- WordLength [out] : Number of bits in the bytes transmitted and received.
Return Values : If the function succeeds, the return value is TRUE, otherwise the return value is FALSE.
Notes:
- This method is available starting from Windows 2000 only.
- These port settings are actual untill they are not changed by VSP AX or application, which opened virtual serial port. If these settings are changed, you get a corresponding message (in that case OnLineControl event). Be carefull, when you are changing this parameter from VSP AX in event body, as you might get into an endless loop.
