Broadcast sessions start on the server. (This is the opposite of user sessions, which are started remotely if the WebView server and CIMPLICITY project are running.) Therefore you can:
Maintain a list of broadcast
sessions, some of which may be running,
Specify when a broadcast session
starts,
Stop a selected session, and
Remove a selected session from the
list.
Review the Running field to determine which broadcast sessions are running.
