HP (Hewlett-Packard) 40G Calculator User Manual


 
Programming 15-15
All the programs that are called from the VIEWS menu
are transferred when the aplet is transferred, for example
to another calculator or to a PC.
As part of the VIEWS menu configuration, you can
specify programs that you want transferred with the
aplet, but are not called as menu options. For example,
these can be sub-programs that menu options use, or the
program that defines the aplet’s VIEWS menu.
You can include a “Start” option in the VIEWS menu to
specify a program that you want to run automatically
when the aplet starts. This program typically sets up the
aplet’s initial configuration. The Start option on the menu
is also useful for resetting the aplet.
Command syntax
The syntax for the command is as follows:
SETVIEWS
"Prompt1";"ProgramName1";ViewNumber1;
"Prompt2";"ProgramName2";ViewNumber2:
(You can repeat as many Prompt/ProgramName/
ViewNumber trios of arguments as you like.)
Within each Prompt/ProgramName/ViewNumber trio, you
separate each item with a semi-colon.
Prompt
Prompt is the text that is displayed for the corresponding entry
in the Views menu. Enclose the prompt text in double quotes.
Associating programs with your aplet
If Prompt consists of a single space, then no entry appears in
the view menu. The program specified in the ProgramName
item is associated with the aplet and transferred whenever the
aplet is transmitted. Typically, you do this if you want to
transfer the Setviews program with the aplet, or you want to
transfer a sub-program that other menu programs use.
