Not really. You have given me a list. What can I do with it? I think I
was looking for a manual or something that talks about this (The DDS
manual didn't seem to...).

How can I use this to do what I need to do - if it works at all on
Mocha... What do these mean? What action do I take to trigger them? I
think that's what I mean by "information on AID keystrokes"... 

However, thank you for the effort!

Is this what you mean by "information on AID keystrokes"?

Thank you. Very helpful. Where can I find information on AID

Did a search on the DDS manual, and nothing showed up...

5250 Mouse Support 101

There are 2 levels of 5250 mouse support: Simple Hotspots and 
Programmable Mouse Buttons.

Simple Hotspots is, as the name implies, SIMPLE. Clicking on an 
SAA-CUA-compliant (Systems Application Architecture; Common User 
Access) function key label (or, depending on the enhancement level, a 
"More" or "Bottom" message, the word "Enter,") will generate the 
appropriate AID
("Attention-ID") keystroke. Depending on the enhancement level, 
clicking on a CUA-compliant selection column value label may also 
enter the value at the current cursor position, and clicking on a 
CUA-compliant menu item may enter the menu item number at the current 
cursor position and generate an "Enter" AID.

Clicking anywhere else moves the cursor to the mouse pointer position;

double clicking anywhere else moves the cursor and generates an
"Enter."

All this happens, to the extent that it happens at all, without the 
need for any special coding on the host side.
In the case of a real terminal, it must be an InfoWindow II (or clone 
thereof), plugged into an enhanced Twinax controller.


Programmable Mouse Buttons (PMB) is a 5250 "structured field" that is 
sent to the terminal to implement "MOUBTN"
in a display file. Provided that the terminal/controller combination 
(or the TN5250 client or other emulator) can accept it. It reassigns 
the semantics of various mouse gestures, causing them to generate (in 
its simplest form) AID keystrokes.

I looked into including PMB support in the emulator we supply as part 
of our ThinView and Wintouch products (and may someday supply as a 
standalone product). But so far, there's been no demand; neither do I 
have the time, nor a sufficiently comprehensive PMB-enabled 
application to test it with, so (along with WP mode, which is 
virtually extinct), it ain't happening anytime soon. Since I believe 
MochaSoft may have some of the same roots as our emulator, I'd have 
been shocked if it did have PMB support.


Even without PMB support, you can do a lot with mouse buttons. For 
example, our QuestView product is set up so that if you place the 
cursor on a menu header in the action bar, and issue an "Enter" AID, 
the menu will open.
Thus, double-clicking on a menu will also open it. And the menus 
themselves are set to fire from an "Enter" with the cursor on the 
item, so even if your terminal or emulator won't specifically 
recognize a single-click on a CUA-compliant menu item, QuestView will 
recognize a double-click on it.



Class dismissed.
