CUSTOMIZING ELITEVIEW
The table below describes each item:
| Table |
|
|
Parameter | Description |
|
|
Device_ID | The device identifier defined in the [device] section. |
|
|
Seq= | The menu item sequence number the device will override. |
|
|
Executeable | Filename of the EliteView application that is invoked when the device type and menu items are |
| selected. |
|
|
If no application is designated for a device, then the default application listed in the preceding table is invoked when the corresponding menu item is selected.
Example: Sample entry for [tools] section
[tools]
total=5
1=1,&Zoom,SNMPTREE.EXE,Zoomin the object,zoom 2=1,&Alive Test,ALTEST.EXE,Alive test,altest 3=1,&MIB Browser,SNMPTREE.EXE,MIB browser,tree
From the [tools] section, one can read the following information:
•Five menu items are listed in the Tools Menu – Zoom, Alive Test, MIB Browser,
•Run each item by invoking the corresponding executable file. For example, run Zoom by invoking ZOOM.EXE, etc.
•Invoking any command will display the corresponding help message in the status bar. For example, clicking Zoom will display Zoom in the object.
•For the SNMP node, there is no override. This means that when Zoom and MIB Browser are selected, SNMPTREE.EXE is executed.
•For SMC devices, the Zoom command invokes the corresponding EliteView management module; the Alive Test command invokes ALTEST.EXE; and the MIB Browser command invokes SNMPTREE.EXE.
The [bitmaps] Section
The [bitmaps] NETMGR.INI section lists the filenames of graphic bitmaps that are used to show devices on the EliteView maps. The graphic bitmaps are in standard *.BMP format. If you want to change any of the bitmaps EliteView provides, you can create you own and integrate them into EliteView. You can do this simply by copying a new bitmap into the bitmap directory and editing the [bitmap] section of the NETMGR.INI file.
