VendorPath

Object: EHL7Interface.eUtilities

FileName: EHL7Interface.dll

PROPERTY

Name: VendorPath

DataType: String

Mode: Read/Write

Description: Return/Set the folder where EasyHL7 vendor files are installed.

Every system has some key piece of data that is mandatory for it to function correctly.  With database applications it's the connection to the database, with telecommunications systems it's the connection to a modem, with Speech Recognition applications it's the interface with the sound card.  With EasyHL7 it is the VendorPath property.  It is imperative that this property be set correctly for any of the objects to work correctly.

*Note: By default upon creation the objects will look in the win.ini file for this folder if you do not supply one.  So if you have previously used the ShowConfiguration method, the folder will already be set when the object is created.

*Warning: 

Example:

Dim x As New EHL7Interface.eUtilities

MsgBox x.VendorPath

Result would show the vendor path currently saved in the win.ini.

A similar result could be gotten by issuing:

Example (see helpful code):

Dim myVendorFolder As String

myVendorFolder = GetWinString("EasyHL7", "VendorPath", "")

MsgBox MyVendorFolder
