RE: [LINUX5250] continued field support

["Marc-Antoine Ruel" <maruel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks

Actually, when the functionality is activated, it checks if a field is
under the cursor. If not, it simply do a 5 letters scan around the mouse
click for F1 to F24. I went for the simplest. :)  It is why it is
"disablable". I consider that the user knows where to click.

When my checkin is done, it'll be in activex/Term5250.cpp in
CTerm5250::OnLButtonDown.

For the continued field, it's still the most basic; i.e. it works on the
field it needed to :)

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

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