    Default if USB serial cable is unplugged, there is a serialPortError Problem !

    i use ;

    connect(mySerialPort, SIGNAL(error(QSerialPort::SerialPortError)), this,
    SLOT(handleError(QSerialPort::SerialPortError)));

    ...

    void MyClass::handleError(QSerialPort::SerialPortError error)
    {
    if (error == QSerialPort::ResourceError) {
    QMessageBox::critical(this, tr("Critical Error"), serial->errorString());
    closeSerialPort();
    }
    }

    BUT
    if USB serial cable is unplugged, my program wants to stay in " if (error == QSerialPort::ResourceError) {...} " loop so always give me error message despite close the error messages again and again.

    The message box uses a nested event loop to process events.
    Since you have not closed the port yet you are just getting more errors, resulting in entering the same slots over and over again.

    If you close it after the message, what do you think happens if an error occurs while you are showing the message?

    Have you tried closing before showing the message box?

    Yep, because of that program has unexpectedly finished.

    Maybe you invalidate "serial" inside closeSerialPort.
    If so you need to get the error string before calling closeSerialPort.
