 ipinfo.setHostAddress( hostAddress, [callback])

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for the getHostAddress([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err, data){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'data' is the value returned by the method.

The callback for the setHostAddress([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

This property contains the IP address (in internet dotted format aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd) of the host whose domain name is specified by HostName

If HostAddress is set to an IP address, a search is initiated for the corresponding host names(s).

The RequestComplete event is fired when the search is complete. The RequestId property identifies the pending request.

Example (Resolve an Address)

IPInfoControl.HostAddress = "10.0.1.10"
While IPInfoControl.PendingRequests > 0
    IPInfoControl.DoEvents()
End While
ResolvedName = IPInfoControl.HostName
