Visual Basic: Connect to the Server

To connect to the VistA M Server from your Visual Basic program:

1. Set the server and port to connect to: 

   Call RPCBPropSet(intRPCBHandle, "Server", "BROKERSERVER")
   Call RPCBPropSet(intRPCBHandle, "ListenerPort", "9200")

2. Set the Connected property to true; this attempts a connection to the VistA M Server: 

   Call RPCBPropSet(intRPCBHandle, "Connected", "1")

3. Check if you are still connected. If so, you can continue (your connection was made). If not, you should quit or branch accordingly: 

   RPCBPropGet(intRPCBHandle, "Connected", strResult)

4. Attempt to create context for your application's "B"-type option. If you can't create context, you should quit or branch accordingly. If RPCBCreateContext returns True, then you are ready to call all RPCs registered to your application's "B"-type option: 

   intResult = RPCBCreateContext(intRPCBHandle, "MY APPLICATION")
