All the programs that are called from the VIEWS menu are transferred when the aplet is transferred, for example to another calculator or to a PC.

As part of the VIEWS menu configuration, you can specify programs that you want transferred with the aplet, but are not called as menu options. For example, these can be sub-programs that menu options use, or the program that defines the aplet’s VIEWS menu.

You can include a “Start” option in the VIEWS menu to specify a program that you want to run automatically when the aplet starts. This program typically sets up the aplet’s initial configuration. The Start option on the menu is also useful for resetting the aplet.

Command syntax

The syntax for the command is as follows:

SETVIEWS

"Prompt1";"ProgramName1";ViewNumber1; "Prompt2";"ProgramName2";ViewNumber2: (You can repeat as many Prompt/ProgramName/ ViewNumber trios of arguments as you like.)

Within each Prompt/ProgramName/ViewNumber trio, you separate each item with a semi-colon.

Prompt

Prompt is the text that is displayed for the corresponding entry in the Views menu. Enclose the prompt text in double quotes.

Associating programs with your aplet

If Prompt consists of a single space, then no entry appears in the view menu. The program specified in the ProgramName item is associated with the aplet and transferred whenever the aplet is transmitted. Typically, you do this if you want to transfer the Setviews program with the aplet, or you want to transfer a sub-program that other menu programs use.
