Connects to an Iguana From-Plugin channel component as a source plugin.
Applies to
Declaration
procedure Connect(HostName : String; PortNumber : Integer; ChannelName : String);
Description
Should be called only while the plugin is disconnected (for example, after a return from WaitForDisconnect).
May not be called from within an event handler (for example, may not be called from within the OnDisconnected handler).
If a connection is not established within the timeout period specified by ConnectTimeout, an exception will be thrown. The default timeout period of 5000 milliseconds should suffice for most plugins, and should only be adjusted if connection timeouts are observed.
Throws: Function throws an exception upon connection failure or timeout, or if called from within an event handler.

| HostName | Iguana machine hostname or IP address (typically 'localhost' if the plugin and Iguana are running on the same machine). |
| PortNumber | Iguana Plugin Communication Server port number (typically 6123). |
| ChannelName | Iguana channel name. |
