Remarks

If TRUE, the device is claimed for exclusive access. If FALSE, the device is released for sharing with other applications. The device must be opened before this property can be read.

Exclusive use devices must be claimed using the Claim method before the service object will allow access to many of its methods and properties, and before the service object will fire events to the application.

Claimed is initialized to FALSE. State verification takes place in the basic and base classes for each device.
