Sample Usage:
Dim LVAPI As Longview.API
Set LVAPI = New Longview.API
Dim rc As Long: rc = LVAPI.ErrorCode.NoError
Dim session As New session
rc = LVAPI.GetSession(session)
If rc = LVAPI.ErrorCode.NoError Then
MsgBox session.Host & " " & session.Identifier & " " & session.UserId
ElseIf rc = LVAPI.ErrorCode.NotConnected Then
