MsgMonitorPoints
The MsgMonitorPoints object contains a collection of MsgMonitorPoint objects. This
collection object contains all of the MsgMonitorPoint objects that have been added to a
monitor set. Message monitor point objects represent message tags that may be used to
monitor application L
ONWORKS messages from the device. For more information on monitor
points, see the Monitor and Control chapter in the OpenLNS Programmer’s Guide.
In general, the MsgMonitorPoint collections contained in MonitorSet objects created as
temporary and permanent monitor sets behave the same way except that the DefaultOptions
properties of the MsgMonitorPoint objects in temporary monitor sets are not accessible. For
more information, see the CurrentOptions property of the MsgMonitorPoint object.
The following table summarizes the MsgMonitorPoints object.

dynamic MessageTag object as the targetDevice element.
• If you specify an AppDevice object, you will be able to use
the new MsgMonitorPoint object to send messages to that
device, or to receive messages from the device. This
cannot be the Network Service Device containing the
monitor set you are adding the message point to (the
AppDevice containing the monitor set).
• If you specify a dynamic MessageTag object, you will be
