WaitForCall2 Method

In This Topic

Initializes the modem to automatically answer an incoming call and opens a status dialog box until a connection has been established.

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)

expression.WaitForCall2( _
   ByVal description As String _
) As ReturnCode

where expression is a variable that represents a Terminal Object

Parameters

description: Specifies a message to be displayed in the Waiting for Call dialog box.

Return Value

One of the following ReturnCode enumeration values.

Member	Description
Cancelled	Cancelled.
Error	Error.
PermissionRequired	Permission is required.
Success	Success.
Timeout	Timeout condition.
Truncated	The text is truncated.

Remarks

This method does not check to see whether a modem is actually connected to the serial port. It simply transmits the Hayes "AT" command to get the modem's attention, and then transmits the "ATS0=1" command to place the modem in answer mode. If the command fails for any reason, no error is returned. The procedure continues to the next statement only after the status box is dismissed (either because the modem established a connection, the user canceled, or the dialog box timed out).
