Timeout Property

A timeout for the component.

Syntax

__property int Timeout = {read=FTimeout, write=FSetTimeout, default=60};

Default Value

60

Remarks

If the Timeout property is set to 0, all operations return immediately, potentially failing with an error if they can't be completed immediately.

If Timeout is set to a positive value, the component will wait for the operation to complete before returning control.

The component will use DoEvents to enter an efficient wait loop during any potential waiting period, making sure that all system events are processed immediately as they arrive. This ensures that the host application does not "freeze" and remains responsive.

If Timeout expires, and the operation is not yet complete, the component raises an exception.

Please note that by default, all timeouts are inactivity timeouts, i.e. the timeout period is extended by Timeout seconds when any amount of data is successfully sent or received.

Optionally, the behavior of the component may be changed to absolute timeouts, i.e. the component will wait for a maximum of Timeout seconds since the beginning of the operation, without extending the timeout period during communications.

This behavior is controlled by the AbsoluteTimeout configuration setting.

The default value for the Timeout property is 60 seconds.

Data Type

Integer
