The [tools] Section

The [tools] NETMGR.INI section describes the menu items that appear in the Tools Menu of the main EliteView program. You can add, delete, or change items in the Tools Menu simply by editing this section in the NETMGR.INI file.

To edit the [tools] section:

1.Edit the total=n line to specify the number of items listed in the Tools Menu. The variable n specifies the number of items listed under this menu.

2.Add a line describing each item in the [tools] section using the following format:

Seq=EV_Flag,Menu_Item,Executable,Help_Message,Toolbar_Bitmap

Parameter Definitions for the [tools] Section

	Table B-4 Parameter Definitions for the [tools] Section
Parameter	Description
Seq=	The sequence number is from 1 to n, where n is the total number of items in the Tools Menu.
EV_Flag	Difference between EliteView and Non-EliteView Windows applications. Acceptable values
	include:
	0 Designates the entry as a “Non-EliteView Windows application”; i.e., it cannot work closely with
	EliteView, but may be initiated from within some EliteView commands as an independent
	process.
	1 Designates the entry as an “EliteView Application”; i.e., it follows the set of rules specified by
	SMC to allow interaction with other EliteView modules.
Menu_Item	This is the text that appears in the menu. An ampersand “&” before one of the letters in the text
	designates a short-cut key sequence (i.e., a single-letter used with the Alt key), which you can press
	to invoke the corresponding command. This is normally shown onscreen with an underline.
Executable	The name of the Windows application that is invoked when the corresponding item is selected. This
	application program is set as the default application, which means that it is invoked only if no other
	definition for individual devices exists.
Help_Message	The message that appears in the status bar when the specified menu item is browsed.
Toolbar_Bitmap	The toolbar bitmap shown in the EliteView platform program.

The above list may be followed by zero or more lines for definitions that apply to individual devices.

3.Identify particular tools for any device, if necessary. Do this by adding or editing the following command line:

Device_ID.Seq=Executable
