This sample uses the WaitForHostSettle method to navigate by waiting a set time for the host to respond and the screen to settle. If you know which strings your host returns, consider using the waitForStrings method, which is more efficient than using a set time to wait for the host to respond.

To run this sample, create a VT session with the Host IP address set as demo:Unix and log in with any credentials. Then run the sample.

Sub NavigateWithWaitForHostSettle()
 
    Dim returnValue As Integer
    
    ThisScreen.SendKeys "demodata"
    ThisScreen.SendControlKey ControlKeyCode_Return
    
    returnValue = ThisScreen.WaitForHostSettle(2000)
    ThisScreen.SendKeys "exit"
    ThisScreen.SendControlKey ControlKeyCode_Return
    
    returnValue = ThisScreen.WaitForHostSettle(2000)
    ThisScreen.SendKeys "ls"
    ThisScreen.SendControlKey ControlKeyCode_Return
 
End Sub
