JoinCommonContext Method

Example 





The context participant interface provided by the application.
Name of the application. This string must be unique relative to the other applications that have already joined the common context session.
If set to true participate in context change surveys. If false the application will only be informed when a context change has been accepted.
If set to true wait for the current context change transaction to complete.
Enables an application to join a common context session.
Syntax
int JoinCommonContext( 
   IContextParticipant contextParticipant,
   string applicationName,
   bool survey,
   bool wait
)
'Declaration
 
Function JoinCommonContext( _
   ByVal contextParticipant As IContextParticipant, _
   ByVal applicationName As String, _
   ByVal survey As Boolean, _
   ByVal wait As Boolean _
) As Integer
'Usage
 
Dim instance As IContextManager
Dim contextParticipant As IContextParticipant
Dim applicationName As String
Dim survey As Boolean
Dim wait As Boolean
Dim value As Integer
 
value = instance.JoinCommonContext(contextParticipant, applicationName, survey, wait)
int JoinCommonContext( 
   IContextParticipant contextParticipant,
   string applicationName,
   bool survey,
   bool wait
)
function Leadtools.Ccow.IContextManager.JoinCommonContext( 
   contextParticipant ,
   applicationName ,
   survey ,
   wait 
)
int JoinCommonContext( 
   IContextParticipant^ contextParticipant,
   String^ applicationName,
   bool survey,
   bool wait
) 

Parameters

contextParticipant
The context participant interface provided by the application.
applicationName
Name of the application. This string must be unique relative to the other applications that have already joined the common context session.
survey
If set to true participate in context change surveys. If false the application will only be informed when a context change has been accepted.
wait
If set to true wait for the current context change transaction to complete.

Return Value

A participant coupon that the application uses to denote itself to the context manager.
