    @segtteee said in How can I see and storage the data from device in QT?:

    databits is a number, why not toint?

    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.

    @jsulm
    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) ;

                "DataBits dataBits; " is not written . what mean "DataBits dataBits;"?
                I read the docummets and see "QSerialPort::Data8"
                so I write
                "if (ui->comboBox_databits->currentText() == "Data8")
                mSerialport(QSerialPort::Data8); "

                    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.
