Read/Write Read only.
Added to API Depends on the object used to access the property. Generally,
this property exists for an object as soon as the object is
added to the API.
ConnectDescTemplate
Summary Contains the ConnectDescTemplate object associated with the
specified MessageTag object. This template contains
parameters used when creating connections .
Setting the ConnectDescTemplate property with a modified
ConnectDescTemplate object will cause the attributes of a
connection to be updated, if the message tag the property
belongs to is the hub for that connection.
If the message tag is not yet added to a connection, it is
assumed that you will call the Connect method to create the
connection immediately after setting this property. If you do
not, reading the ConnectDescTemplate property will return
the old (default) ConnectDescTemplate object.
To modify the attributes of an existing connection
description, modify its ConnectDescTemplate properties as if
it were a new object. Setting the ConnectDescTemplate
property with a modified ConnectDescTemplate object will
cause the attributes of a connection to be updated, if the
message tag the ConnectDescTemplate object belongs to is the
hub for that connection.
