Methods – WD802Term ActiveX

Methods are commands that you issue to the WD802term 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 WD802term control than are listed here. This is normal. You may ignore methods you see that are not listed here.

InitializeServer

 

Parameters:

none

Function:

Prepares the Server to be started. Follow this call by

 

setting the ServerActive property to True. This must

 

be called before any of the methods described below.

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.

InputKeyBd

 

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 the terminal keypad only.

InputExtKeyBd

 

Parameters:

line, position, prompt

Function:

This instructs the ActiveTerminal to display the

 

prompt at line and position and wait for data to be

 

received from the PS/2 keyboard attached using an

 

adaptor to the terminal serial port. Waiting for

 

external keyboard input can be bypassed by

 

pressing the enter key on the terminal which will

 

send an empty data string to the host (fires the

 

OnTermData event handler). External keyboards

 

are supported by terminals using firmware version

 

RFU1010 or later.
