Re: Double-left-click mouse event on Host Connection

[Brian Parkins <goodprophet.bp@xxxxxxxxx>]

Duane, if I've understood correctly, in RDi you doing the following:
1). right-click OBJECTS Subsystem
2). from the Context Menu, selecting HOST CONNECTION EMULATOR (HCE)
3). trying double-click-left-mouse-button (DLMB) on (any) text to select it

Is this correct?

As others have already pointed out, DLMB doesn't work on the HCE; (it is 
an awful emulator, IMHO)

However, at Step 1). (above) you also have the option, LAUNCH 5250 
EMULATOR, (this is a link to the ACS emulator which is bundled with RDi 
as well). This /does/ handle DLMB as you wish.

I have tried a few other emulators:
- iSphere 5250
- Mochasoft
- PCOMM
none of these offer DLMB selection. (In some case you can "draw" a 
selection rectangle around the desired text by holding down the LMB and 
dragging the mouse.)

So, I don't think you're missing a setting in HCE. I /do/ think you're 
missing out on a better (the best?) emulator i.e. ACS. Hope this helps.

Brian.
