TermType Property

Description

Terminal emulation type to negotiate to when AutoOption is True.

Property type

Read-write property

Syntax

Visual Basic
Public Property TermType As String

Remarks

Many hosts send a terminal type request shortly after a Telnet connection is established. By setting this property at design time or before connecting, the control responds with this value when the AutoOption property is True. If the host refuses to negotiate the terminal type, this property returns "".

Setting this property after the initial option negotiation takes place may not affect the host in any way, depending on the host's operating system.

If the server does not support this option, this property returns "" after it has been refused. Likewise, to refuse this option, set this property to "".
