Sets or clears the break signal state. This property is not available at design time.
Syntax
object.Break [ = value]
The Break property syntax has these parts:
| Part | Description |
| object | An object expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list. |
| value | A Boolean expression specifying whether the break signal state is set, as described in Settings. |
Settings
The settings for value are:
| Setting | Description |
| True | Sets the break signal state. |
| False | Clears the break signal state. |
Remarks
When set to True, the Break property sends a break signal. The break signal suspends character transmission and places the transmission line in a break state until you set the Break property to False.
Typically, you set the break state for a short interval of time, and only if the device with which you are communicating requires that a break signal be set.
