Properties
Properties are the various configuration variables used by the WDIPterm
control. They are directly assignable in your application (eg.
"WDIPterm.ServerOn = true") and can be set in your development
environment’s object browser.
Note that your development environment may show more properties for the
WDIPterm control than are listed here. This is normal. You may ignore pro-
perties you see listed in your development environment that are not listed here.
ServerOn
Valid values: True, False
Function: Set to True to enable the server. Set to false to turn the
server off. You should leave this off unless your program
is actually running. Setting it to True at design-time can
cause problems.
Quiet
Valid values: True, False
Function: If Quiet is set to True then any status and error message
generated by WDIPterm will be suppressed.
LogFile
Valid values: blank or a valid file name
Function: If the file does not exist it will be created. If it exists, it will
be appended to. If LogFile is blank, no log file is
maintained.
ClientList
Valid Values: Read Only.
Function: Returns a formatted string listing all attached client
BaseNames and associated IP numbers. Format is
"basename CR/LF ip address CR/LF basename…".
Methods
Methods are commands that you issue to the WDIPterm 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 WDIPterm control than are listed here. This is normal. You may ignore
methods you see that are not listed here.
InputAny
Parameters: basename, channel, terminal, line, position, prompt,
shifted, timestamped
Function: This instructs the terminal attached to client basename on
channel to display the prompt at line and position and wait
for data to be entered from either terminal keypad or
