Summary

Initialize the VT emulation window.

Syntax

Boolean Initialize (ConfigurationName)

ConfigurationName String

Description

The VT220 emulation must be initialized before any other action is performed (with the exception of listing, modifying, deleting and saving configurations as described in the reference page of the VtAction property or the corresponding methods). To initialize the VT220 emulation, call the Initialize method. This will create an emulation window inside the VT220 ActiveX control.

The Initialize method takes a configuration name specified by the ConfigurationName parameter and returns a boolean. The configuration name must be the name of a valid configuration. If the emulation window can be successfully created and initialized, then the method returns True; otherwise, it returns False. The application should ensure that the method was successfully executed by checking the return value.

Calling this method is equivalent to setting the Action property to ACTION_INITIALIZE. If the Initialize method or ACTION_INITIALIZE is called and successfully executed within an application, then the Destroy method or ACTION_DESTROY must be called before the application quits.

Example

Result = VT220Client.Initialize ("default")
If Result = False Then
MsgBox "Cannot initialize emulation window", 64, "Sample Program"
End If

"The night before I went on summer holiday we had to make some 'last minute' configuration changes to approx. 300 routers, a tedious job to do manually with telnet. We went along with MS Excel containing a list of IP-adresses to the routers, and the VIT telnet-component. One hour later the VBA-application (small is beautiful) was working, and after another hour all of our routers were updated with the new configuration. I just say a big "Thanks" to you all for a good sleep that night."
