Example

            
            

               
               
This sample creates a control by opening a session document file. Before you run the
                  sample, create and save a session document.

               
               

                  
                  
                  
                  

                     
                     

Sub OpenSessionDocument()    

     ' Objects required to open a new session

            Dim app As Attachmate_Reflection_Objects_Framework.ApplicationObject

     Dim terminal As Attachmate_Reflection_Objects_Emulation_IbmHosts.IbmTerminal

     Dim view As Attachmate_Reflection_Objects.View

 

     Dim sessionPath As String            

 

     'Get a handle to the existing application object (the workspace)

            Set app = GetObject("Reflection Workspace")

 

     'Create a terminal control for the new session

            sessionPath = Environ$("USERPROFILE") & "\Documents\Micro Focus\Reflection\" & "gettingStarted.rd3x"

     Set terminal = app.CreateControl(sessionPath)

 

     'Create the view used to display the session

            Set view = ThisFrame.CreateView(terminal)

 End Sub



                  

                  

               
               

               
               

                  
                  
                  
                  

                     
                     

Sub OpenSessionDocument()   

    'Objects required to open a new session

            Dim app As Attachmate_Reflection_Objects_Framework.ApplicationObject

     Dim terminal As Attachmate_Reflection_Objects_Emulation_OpenSystems.Terminal

     Dim view As Attachmate_Reflection_Objects.View

     Dim sessionPath As String

     'Get a handle to the existing application object (the workspace)

            Set app = GetObject("Reflection Workspace")

   

     'Create a terminal control for the new session

            sessionPath = Environ$("USERPROFILE") & "\Documents\Micro Focus\Reflection\" & "gettingStarted.rdox"

     Set terminal = app.CreateControl(sessionPath)

 

     'Create the view used to display the session

            Set view = ThisFrame.CreateView(terminal)

 End Sub
