Auto-run programs
If the Prompt item is “Start”, then the ProgramName program
runs whenever you start the aplet. This is useful for setting up
a program to configure the aplet. Users can select the Start
item from the Views menu to reset the aplet if they change
configurations.
You can also define a menu item called “Reset” which is
autorun if the user chooses the RESET button in the APLET
view.
ProgramName
ProgramName is the name of the program that runs when the
corresponding menu entry is selected. All programs that are
identified in the aplet’s SETVIEWS command are transferred
when the aplet is transmitted.
ViewNumber
ViewNumber is the number of a view to start after the program
finishes running. For example, if you want the menu option to
display the Plot view when the associated program finishes,
you would specify 1 as the ViewNumber value.
Including standard menu options
To include one of an aplet’s standard View menu options in
your customized menu, set up the arguments trio as follows:
• The first argument specifies the menu item name:
– Leave the argument empty to use the standard Views
menu name for the item, or
– Enter a menu item name to replace the standard
name.
• The second argument specifies the program to run:
– Leave the argument empty to run the standard menu
option.
– Insert a program name to run the program before the
standard menu option is selected.
• The third argument specifies the view and the menu
number for the item. Determine the menu number from
the View numbers table below.
Note: SETVIEWS with no arguments resets the views to
default of the base aplet.
