Using Interface Builder (IB):
Section Blue contains options impacting how IB generates ASP/DHTML forms--continued
Deployed IMAGE path - the directory where IMAGES are found on the hosting Application Server (IIS)
Image Suffix - select from the list provided. IMAGE files painted or dynamically named in LINC code will be modified to have this suffix.
TABS - IEG will calculate TAB order based on the layout of the character based form or if TAB values have been entered by the user on the painted GUI forms, then the user maintained tab order will be used.
Navigation ISPEC 1 & 2 - Scripts are generated automatically by IB based on selected LINC attributes found in the LCIF model file. These scripts are executed at the local browser level and include tests for Required, Numeric etc. There are some fields defined within the application that control ISPEC flow. In order to bypass local browser editing, the user can specify two data names used for ISPEC navigation. When either of these data names are found painted on the generated form, IB dynamically includes additional scripts to test on the values entered or selected for these specific data items and skips local editing routines.
Time Duration - This time interval is in seconds (it can be .5 for 1/2 second) and is the time allocated for the form to complete it's transition.
Transition Type - there are 24 difference ways for the form to be presented such as: circle out, wipe left. The transition is how the form is rendered in the browser. "None" is a valid selection.
Section Black contains message handling options. IB pops up a window to display messages generated by locally generated JavaScripts and for messages received from the host. IEG has also implemented a special "format" for host originated messages., using the MESSAGE verb and it's variations of syntax: ME; ERROR, ME; ATTENTION and ME; DataName. In the text string between ( ) is properly formatted, the result will be a painted data object will change colors in the browser and the text string will become hover text associated with that field. I.E. ME; ERROR (`CREDAMT` has been exceeded). When this message is issued from the host the field CREDAMT will turn colors and the string will become hover popup text. Colors can be selected from the list provided or the hex representation of the color can be entered such as #C0C0C0 for gray. The text is formatted with a backwards quote ` delimiting the data name.
Local and Message DataName Background color - this is the color of fields when messages are generated by local edit scripts. For example if CUSTNO is a required field, if CUSTNO is left blank then that field will change to this color. The form is not submitted to the host until a non-blank entry is made in the required field. This will also be the back ground color for "formatted" messages received from the host when using the message dataname syntax.
Message Error Background - This will be the back ground color for "formatted" messages received from the host when using the message error syntax.
Message Attention Background - This will be the back ground color for "formatted" messages received from the host when using the message attention syntax.
F-Key to display errors - A function key can be designated to pop up the most recent message dialog received from the host or generated by local scripts.
