    Can I change only the port name?

    If you want to hardcode all values in code, why do you put comboboxes in ui?

      I modified the port name as you told me. I also changed baudrate and databite equally, but here I get an error.
      "" no matching function for call to ‘QSerialPort::setBaudRate(QString)’
      mSerialport->setBaudRate(ui->comboBox_baudrate->currentText()); ""
      Can I change only the port name?

      @segtteee See the documentation: http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qserialport.html#baudRate-prop
      setBaudRate() takes an integer not a string.
      See again documentation to find out how to convert a string to an integer: http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qstring.html#toInt

      mSerialport->setBaudRate(ui->comboBox_baudrate->currentText().toInt());

        I understand that the port name is a string, and baudrate is a number, so toint is an integer, but databits is a number, why not toint? And paritybits is a character, but it should not be used.

          I don't understand. If it is a number then convert it to a number like baud rate.

          "And paritybits is a character, but it should not be used" - don't know what you mean. If it should not be used then don't use it.

            it mean
            port name = string so currentText()
            baud rate = integer so currentText().toint()

            data bits = integer so ??
            Is not the toint() correct for the data bits? but error occured

              @segtteee Could you please show real code and the error message?
              DataBits is an enum, so you can do something like:

              DataBits dataBits;
              if (ui->dataBits.currentText() == "Data5")
                  dataBits = DataBits::Data5;
              else if ...

                      @segtteee First, please read what I write more carefully, second if you get an error please post it.
                      This is wrong:

                      if (ui->comboBox_databits->currentText() == "Data8")
                          mSerialport->setDataBits("Data8") ;
                      

                      As I wrote above setDataBits takes an enum not a string - why do you try to pass a string?
                      You should really read documentation.
                      Here again the code I already posted before:

                      DataBits dataBits;
                      if (ui->dataBits.currentText() == "Data5")
                          dataBits = DataBits::Data5;
                      else if ..
                      ...
                      // new
                      mSerialport->setDataBits(dataBits) ;

                            I'm pretty sure thats not a valid constructor of QSerialPort and I'm even more sure that not want you want to do in this case, anyway.

                                DataBits dataBits;
                                

                                to

                                QSerialPort::DataBits dataBits;
                                

                                This does not make any sense:

                                mSerialport(QSerialPort::Data8);
                                

                                must be

                                mSerialport->setDataBits(QSerialPort::Data8);
                                

                                Also if you directly call mSerialport->setDataBits(QSerialPort::Data8); inside if then you do not need dataBits variable...

                                  if (ui->comboBox_databits->currentText() == "Data8")

                                  mSerialport->setDataBits(QSerialPort::Data6);
                                  I write the above code , error not occured .
                                  Parity,Stopbits,flowcontrol , Can I do the same with them?
