CUSTOMIZING ELITEVIEW

•The same explanation follows for the other Device_IDs mentioned, e.g., GenNode, Bridge1, CompRemote and PC.

The [util] Section

The [util] section controls the menu items that appear in the Utility Menu of the EliteView platform program. You can add, delete or change items in the Utilities Menu by editing this section in the NETMGR.INI file.

To edit the [util] section:

1.Edit the total=n line to specify the number of items listed in the Utilities Menu. The variable n is a positive number that 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

Parameter Definitions for the [util] Section

		Table B-7 Parameter Definitions for the [util] Section
Parameter		Description
Seq=	The sequence number from 1 to n, where n is the total number of items in the Tools Menu.
EV__Flag	Acceptable EV_Flag values include:
	0	Designates entry as a “Non-EliteView Windows application.” It cannot work closely with
		EliteView, but may be initiated within some EliteView commands as an independent process.
	1	Designates the entry as an “EliteView Application;” and that 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 an Alt-key short-cut command sequence, which you can press to invoke the corresponding
	command. This is normally shown on screen with an underline.
Executable	The name of the Windows application that is to be 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 an individual device exists.
Help	The message that appears in the status bar when the specified menu item is browsed.
Message	The toolbar bitmap shown in the EliteView platform program.
