WaitForCall3 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
expression.WaitForCall3( _
   ByVal description As String, _
   ByVal initString 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.
initString
Specifies an initialization string to be sent to the modem before waiting.

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).
