(AppID property)
Sets the Application ID for the connections this control creates.
(IMachine property)
Sets the destination machine for connections. This text box can be set to the property values of other VBVoice controls using the %% button.
(ReplyNeeded property)
Sets whether the application expects to receive a reply to its notification or not. If a reply is not expected, the time-out value is ignored. If a reply is expected, control flows out of the Sent output (and usually into a Delay control), allowing the application to continue processing until the message gets a reply. If a reply comes in before the time-out expires, the call passes once again into the Remote control and exits out of the Replied output. If the time-out expires, the call exits out of the Timed Out output.
(Timeout property)
Sets a reply time-out period of up to 120 seconds. If set to 0, no time-out will occur, but the control waits for a reply until a reply occurs. If a call times out without getting a reply, control passes back to the Remote control and exits out the Timed Out output.
To modify or add key/value pairs, click the New or Edit buttons to get the Set Key/Value Pair Dialog:
The Keys/Values list box allows the control to be set up in advance with key/value pairings so that users do not have to call SetData in events. The Key name can be any string. The Value field is also a string. If you want to send other types of value, use SetData method on the Conversation object in an event.
The Key edit box allows the user to enter a key for the key/value pair. The Value edit box permits entry of a pre-defined value. This predefined value can use the %% button to get its value from the run-time properties of another control.
Note that key/value pairs are set by the control before the Enter event of the control is called. They can then be adjusted directly by calling SetData on the Conversation object associated with the channel.
There is one reserved key, AppID, which is used by Workgroup Telephony controls to decide who sees which messages. Both the AgentX and Remote controls set this key automatically when Conversations are created. Users should never adjust the AppID. Consult the User Guide for details on AppIDs and their significance.
VBVoice will soon include an expanded list of reserved keys. All such new keys will start with the string Pronexus (e.g. PronexusNewKey). Users should avoid using any keys which begin with Pronexus for continued compatibility with future versions of Workgroup Telephony.
