Power Property

Powers the radio on and off.

Syntax

Public Property Get Power() As Boolean
Public Property Let Power(ByVal bOn As Boolean)

Remarks

The Power property reflects the state of the radio. If set to True, the radio is switched on while if set to False, the radio is switched off.

When switching on the radio, it may take a few seconds reading the SIM card and registering on the network before you can use other telephony features. You can use the SIMStatus property to check the SIM is ready and the Attached property to check the phone is registered.

Note that your application should not switch on the radio without asking the user first, as he may be in some location where using a cellular phone is forbidden (airplane, hospital...)
