Not going to get parity with that setting!

Why?
My understanding is you want to send parity bits.
This shouldn't affect that.
It should only matter if you want to READ and REPORT parity errors.

Use GetCommMask()
Check if EV_ERR	 is set.
If it is not set, then you can't receive parity errors, and the
fParity will likely be turned off.
Try turning it on before you SetCommState().

Then, have a look at GetCommProperties()
and check out the:
	dwProvCapabilities  for  PCF_PARITY_CHECK	
	dwSettableParams  for  SP_PARITY and  SP_PARITY_CHECK
	wSettableStopParity  for parity settings you want to use
