Worth Data 802 RF Methods WD802Term ActiveX, None, Line, position, prompt, shifted, timestamped

Methods – WD802Term ActiveX

Methods are commands that you issue to the WD802term control. All of the "Inputxxx" commands cause the terminal to wait for operator input.

Note that your development environment may show more available methods for the WD802term control than are listed here. This is normal. You may ignore methods you see that are not listed here.

InitializeServer
Parameters:	none
Function:	Prepares the Server to be started. Follow this call by
	setting the ServerActive property to True. This must
	be called before any of the methods described below.
InputAny
Parameters:	line, position, prompt, shifted, timestamped
Function:	This instructs the ActiveTerminal to display the
	prompt at line and position and wait for data to be
	entered from either terminal keypad or scanner. If
	shifted is set to "true", the terminal will start in
	shifted mode. Timestamped appends a (hhmmss)
	prefix to the returned data.
InputKeyBd
Parameters:	line, position, prompt, shifted, timestamped
Function:	This instructs the ActiveTerminal to display the
	prompt at line and position and wait for data to be
	entered from the terminal keypad only.
InputExtKeyBd
Parameters:	line, position, prompt
Function:	This instructs the ActiveTerminal to display the
	prompt at line and position and wait for data to be
	received from the PS/2 keyboard attached using an
	adaptor to the terminal serial port. Waiting for
	external keyboard input can be bypassed by
	pressing the enter key on the terminal which will
	send an empty data string to the host (fires the
	OnTermData event handler). External keyboards
	are supported by terminals using firmware version
	RFU1010 or later.
