[vbox-dev] v4.0.0_BETA2 - IVRDEServer

[Achim Hasenmüller]

VBoxManage source code is usually a good place to look for how to use an API. Here's what the current source code says:

1884	            case MODIFYVM_VRDPPORT:
1885	            {
1886	                vrdeWarningDeprecatedProperty("vrdpport", "TCP/Ports", ValueUnion.psz);
1887	
1888	                ComPtr<IVRDEServer> vrdeServer;
1889	                machine->COMGETTER(VRDEServer)(vrdeServer.asOutParam());
1890	                ASSERT(vrdeServer);
1891	
1892	                if (!strcmp(ValueUnion.psz, "default"))
1893	                    CHECK_ERROR(vrdeServer, SetVRDEProperty(Bstr("TCP/Ports").raw(), Bstr("0").raw()));
1894	                else
1895	                    CHECK_ERROR(vrdeServer, SetVRDEProperty(Bstr("TCP/Ports").raw(), Bstr(ValueUnion.psz).raw()));
1896	                break;
1897	            }
