Enhancements

VIP for Dictionary-IV

VIP Prompt Buttons. At run time, VIP prompt messages can be displayed as buttons in the Status Bar.

A set of control key characters defines the start of the button. The end of the button is defined when another set of control keys is matched or the end of the prompt text is encountered. Any text leading up to the first set of control keys will be displayed as plain text.

Example: Assume the Mouse Control Key(s) are defined as "<>". Assume a prompt message "Item Code Options: <F1> Report <F2> View". The text "Item Code Options:" would appear as plain text in the status bar with "<F1> Report" as a button and "<F2> View" as a button in the status bar. Clicking on <F1> Report will return CTL=1 to the host and clicking on <F2> View will return CTL=2 to the host.

This option is enabled or disabled by from the WorkStation Manager VIP tab option. Please see 871 WorkStation Manager manual, Mouse Controls section for more information on control keys.
VIP Status Bar Font. The status bar font can now be set from the WorkStation Manager Screens, Menus and Help Fonts tab.
VIP Relative Toolbar Position. Provides control over the position of the Toolbar relative to the Status Bar when both are displayed at the top or bottom of the main VIP window. This option is set from the WorkStation Manager VIP tab.
VIP Hold Object Focus. When this option is enabled the user will not be able to click on any other VIP object except for the Toolbar, Status Bar and messages. This guarantees that the current VIP object will always be on top.
VIP Help. Resize help windows are now saved on the client.
VIP Views. All numeric fields will now be right aligned.

TS ReportServer

TS ReportServer Close All. If multiple reports are opened when a report is closed or the option to “Save” the report now includes a “No to All” option. This will close the current report without saving and will not prompt to save when closing other report windows. This eliminates the need to respond “N” for each opened report.

TbredComm

TbredComm AutoLogons/Connect - TCP/IP Host. A checkbox identifying the host as a Windows O/S has been added. When checked and connecting to a telnet Basic using TbredComm, the domain user name will be sent to the telnet Basic, populating INF(3,2) and INF(3,5). This solves the problem identifying a connection where all connections to the telnet Basic used the same account name.
