DefinitionSource

DefinitionSource

Returns or sets a value that specifies how the rule and segment definitions are read in.

Syntax

object.DefinitionSource [ = String]

The DefinitionSource property syntax has these parts:

Part	Description
object	An object expression that evaluates to the HL7 control.
String	A string expression that specifies the option of how the rule and segment definition are read in(defReadFromFile, defAddRunTime).

Remarks

DefinitionSource of an object is initiated at design time or at runtime by specifying how the rule and
segment definitions are read in. If defReadFromFile is specified then the rule and segment definitions are
read in from files specified by the HL7Path and HL7Version properties. if defAddRunTime is specified
then the rule and segment definitions are add at runtime by calling the AddSegDef and AddSegDefField
methods. If the DefinitionSource property is set at runtime it should be set before calling the Init
method.

Example

Private Sub Form_Load()

Hl7cntl1.DefinitionSource = defReadFromFile
If Len(App.Path) > 3 Then
   Hl7cntl1.HL7Path = App.Path & "\"
Else
   Hl7cntl1.HL7Path = App.Path
End If

Hl7cntl1.HL7Version = ".v22"          ‘msgRules.v22, segDefs.v22 files

Hl7cntl1.Init
