TransferDelay Property (Connect Control)
Windows - Visual C++

read / write

Description
The TransferDelay property returns or gets the delay before connecting to the server again. 

Syntax
long value = GetTransferDelay();
void SetTransferDelay(long value);

The TransferDelay syntax has these parts: 

Part	Description
Value	A Long integer containing the delay number.

Remarks
If several hundred users are logged onto the same server when it goes down, there will be a problem when it comes up if they all try to connect at once. This is enough of a load to cause problems with the server. To prevent this from happening the Connect control is programmed to wait a random amount of time before connecting again. The delay will be a random number of seconds between 5 and TransferDelay (uniform distribution). The default value of TransferDelay is 60 seconds. It will not be allowable to set this number below 10.
