Refreshing Terminal Control

Refreshing Terminal Control

Refreshing Terminal Control

(OP)
I am trying to setup a function to use in my automation programs that checks to see if you are at the login screen and will reset the terminal object on my form without having to reload the form.  Am I missing somthing?

Here is my code:

Public Shared Function AtLogin(ByVal Terminal As Object)
        Dim varIsAtStartScreen As String
        With Terminal.Session.Screen
            'System will check to make sure you are at starting screen
            varIsAtStartScreen = .GetString(20, 2, 5)
            If varIsAtStartScreen = "Logon" Then
                'If you are at login screen returns value of "Logon" in varIsAtStartScreen
                Return varIsAtStartScreen
                Exit Function
            Else
                'If you are not at login screen it will reset the terminal control
                Terminal.Session.Reset()
            End If
        End With
        Return varIsAtStartScreen
    End Function


I am referencing this Reset methond....I found this on Attachmates website

RE: Refreshing Terminal Control

Just to confirm... You are using a VT session and not a 3270 or 5250?

RE: Refreshing Terminal Control

(OP)
I am using the 3270 session.  I actually was able to get this working by using Terminal.Session.Screen.SendKeys("@C", 0) to get a clear screen the .PutString("QUIT", 1, 2)
