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.
