ScreenUPG
OpenEx Method
Example 



ScreenUPG Assembly > ScreenUPG Namespace > ScreenUPG Class : OpenEx Method
The number of seconds to wait for open to complete.
Opens a host session, waiting a specified time for the connection to be established before returning.
Syntax
'Declaration
 

Public Function OpenEx( _ 
   ByVal timeout As Integer _ 
) As Boolean
'Usage
 

Dim instance As ScreenUPG 
Dim timeout As Integer 
Dim value As Boolean 
  
value = instance.OpenEx(timeout)
public bool OpenEx( 
   int timeout 
)
public: 
bool OpenEx( 
   int timeout 
)

Parameters

timeout
The number of seconds to wait for open to complete.

Return Value

true or false. If the session is opened successfully, the return value is true; otherwise it is false.
Remarks
Note: If the timeout is zero, OpenEx returns immediately, which may be before the host connection has been established. The developer should check for a true value returned by isConnected before calling additional API methods.
Example
// Wait 10 seconds before timing out the open
boolean isOpen = screen.OpenEx(10);
Dim isOpen As Boolean
            
'Wait 10 seconds before timing out the open
open = screen.OpenEx(10)
