Syntax

qa_long QAMessage::getExpiration()

Remarks

Gets the message's expiration time.

When a message is sent, the Expiration header field is left unassigned. After the send method completes, the Expiration header holds the expiration time of the message.

This property is read-only because the expiration time of a message is set by adding the time-to-live argument of putMessageTimeToLive to the current time.

The expiration time is in units that are natural for the platform. For Windows/PocketPC platforms, expiration is a SYSTEMTIME, converted to a FILETIME, which is copied to an qa_long value.

For more information about getting and setting message headers and properties, see Introduction to QAnywhere messages.

Returns

The expiration time.
