ctrx_set_connect_opt sets a connection option prior to establishing a connection from a Citrix client to a Citrix server, and then executes the connection to the server.

Pass one of the following as the option argument:

- APPLICATION - Use this to launch an application automatically upon login to the Citrix server. ctrx_set_connect_opt is automatically generated with this option when the "Published Application" field in the "Login Info" Recording Options is set.
- NETWORK_PROTOCOL - Use this option to change to the TCP/IP+HTTP protocol when using NFUSE. ctrx_set_connect_opt is automatically generated with this option when the "Network Protocol" field in the Connection Recording Options is set.
- ICAFILE - Use this to indicate the path to the ICA initialization file. ctrx_set_connect_opt is automatically generated with this option when the "File" field in the "Use ICA file for login" Recording Options is set.
- CLIENT_NAME - Use this option to indicate a Citrix client name. If you do not indicate a specific name, VuGen creates a default name during recording: server username VuserID (VuserID only in Controller).

## Return Values

Citrix ICA Return Values

## Parameterization

The parameter value can be parameterized.

## Example

In the following example, the function ctrx_set_connect_opt is invoked to start the Microsoft Windows Calculator application immediately after login to the server ludens. A further call to ctrx_set_connect_opt with the ICAFILE option directs VuGen to the script to the ICA initialization file.
