Re: continued field support -- LINUX5250

Marc

Congratulations on the work. The continued field support was the first thing that I implemented as well in tn5250j. Keep it up guys.

I also added F-key recognization (kinda like "F1"-"F24" becomes a
button) and cursor displacement with the mouse, but only in my
version. It would be almost like a cut'n'paste to put it in linux or
standard win32.

What was the formula you used to recognize the keys? This was a pain for me.

Regards

Kenneth

With kind James Rich's help, I've been able to implement the
continued field support.

Still it need some testing and I'm on a very limited environment.
Indeed, there is much more to add. I won't be able to do much more
sadly. In my case, I've been able to create an ActiveX that runs on a
web page to show the terminal. Quite far from a text-mode app on
linux but much more ressource hungry. :)

I also added F-key recognization (kinda like "F1"-"F24" becomes a
button) and cursor displacement with the mouse, but only in my
version. It would be almost like a cut'n'paste to put it in linux or
standard win32.

I must warn that the code hasn't been tested on linux. In fact, it
has been minimally tested. It must be tested by someone else and I
don't think many people have the time to do this.

So if anyone has interest for this, or to merge in main source tree,
just send me an email and I'll send a patch (or full source tree) for
HEAD.
