Methods - Serial COM

Methods are commands that you issue to the WDterm 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 WDterm control than are listed here. This is normal. You may

ignore methods you see that are not listed here.

Important: When your application starts up, the serial port is "closed". You must call OpenDevice before other method calls will work.

Except for the ReInitAll method, all methods use the ActiveTerminal property to identify the terminal to use.

OpenDevice

Function:	Opens the communications (serial) port. This must
	be called before any of the methods described
	below. Make sure to set all Properties as desired
	before calling this method (except ActiveTerminal
	or Quiet).
CloseDevice
Function:	Closes the communications (serial) port. This must
	be called before changing any of the Property
	settings (except ActiveTerminal or Quiet). When
	your application starts up, the serial port is
	"closed". You must call OpenDevice before other
	method calls will work.
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.
