JoinCommonContext Method

Summary

Enables an application to join a common context session.

Syntax
C#
VB
C++
public int JoinCommonContext( 
   IContextParticipant contextParticipant, 
   string applicationName, 
   bool survey, 
   bool wait 
) 
Function JoinCommonContext( _ 
   ByVal contextParticipant As IContextParticipant, _ 
   ByVal applicationName As String, _ 
   ByVal survey As Boolean, _ 
   ByVal wait As Boolean _ 
) As Integer 
int JoinCommonContext(  
   IContextParticipant^ contextParticipant, 
   String^ applicationName, 
   bool survey, 
   bool wait 
)  

Parameters

contextParticipant
The context participant interface provided by the application.

applicationName
Name of the application. This string must be unique relative to the other applications that have already joined the common context session.

survey
If set to true participate in context change surveys. If false the application will only be informed when a context change has been accepted.

wait
If set to true wait for the current context change transaction to complete.

Return Value

A participant coupon that the application uses to denote itself to the context manager.

Example

Joins a common context and set patient information.
