SetUserInfoField Method
This method will add a user information field for registration.
Syntax
void __fastcall SetUserInfoField(String Field, String Value);Remarks
This method will search through UserInfo for the field name in Field and set the corresponding value to Value. If the field was not previously contained in UserInfo, it will automatically added.
Before a registration can be attempted, the application should use the QueryRegister method to poll the host to which the user wishes to register. This will gather all of the necessary fields that the user must send to the server, and will populate the UserInfo properties accordingly. After a successful query, all entries in UserInfo values will be empty strings.
The possible registration fields are defined in the Jabber protocol specification as follows:
| instructions | Special instructions sent from the server. |
| username | The username to be associated with this account. |
| password | The initial password for this account. |
| name | The user's name. |
| The user's email address. | |
| address | The user's physical address. |
| city | The user's city of residence. |
| state | The user's state (for United States citizens). |
| zip | The user's postal code (for United States citizens). |
| phone | The user's phone number. |
| URL | The user's website. |
| date | The date of registration. |
| misc | Any miscellaneous data. |
| text | Any extra text (potentially for a personal bio). |
| remove | Specifies a request to unregister. |
After the user has set all of the values in UserInfo, and added any extra fields they may wish to include in their registration, the application should make a call to Register.
If the component is not already connected when this method is called, it will connect, poll the registration fields, and then disconnect.
