Annc.Channel

[This is preliminary documentation and subject to change.]

The Channel property specifies the channel number of the interactive show.

Syntax

object.Channel [ = lchannel ]

Parts

object: Object expression that resolves to an Annc object.
lchannel: Long that contains the channel number of the interactive show. This channel is located in the tuning space specified by Annc.TuningSpace. The default value is 0.

Remarks

This property is one of the components that the Annc object uses to create the show reference string stored in the Annc.ShowRef property.

You are not required to set this property in order for the announcement file created by Annc.Store to be valid. The default value is sufficient in many cases. For example, if you are creating an announcement for a currently-broadcast show, the client is already tuned to the proper channel and does not require this information.

Typically, this value is only set if you are creating a channel-specific future enhancement announcement.
