   ByVal waitTime As Integer _

Example

This Microsoft Excel VBA sample shows how to use the Wait method to make sure Reflection has initialized when you open it from another application. It opens Reflection and creates a demo session. To run this sample:

On the Excel VBA Editor Tools menu, select References and then select the following Reflection Libraries:

Attachmate_Reflection_Objects
Attachmate_Reflection_Objects_Emulation_IbmHosts
Attachmate_Reflection_Objects_Framework

Then copy the following code into an Excel Sheet object code window and press F5 to run the macro.

Visual Basic

Public Sub OpenASessionFromMSExcel()
    'Declare an object variable for the Reflection object
    Dim app As Attachmate_Reflection_Objects_Framework.ApplicationObject
   
    'Declare additional Reflection objects, such as frame, terminal, and view
    Dim frame As Attachmate_Reflection_Objects.frame
    Dim terminal As Attachmate_Reflection_Objects_Emulation_IbmHosts.IbmTerminal
    Dim view As Attachmate_Reflection_Objects.view
   
    'Create a new instance of Reflection
    Set app = New Attachmate_Reflection_Objects_Framework.ApplicationObject
 
    'wait until Reflection initializes
    Do While app.IsInitialized = False
        app.Wait (200)
    Loop
 
    'Create controls to open and display the session document.
    Set frame = app.GetObject("Frame")
    frame.Visible = True
   
    Set terminal = app.CreateControl2("09E5A1B4-0BA6-4546-A27D-FE4762B7ACE1")
                          
    terminal.HostAddress = "demo:ibm3270.sim"
    Set view = frame.CreateView(terminal)
    Set screen = terminal.screen
End Sub
