If you try to send prompt or display text longer than this, it will be truncated and an error code is generated (see
CheckError).
Must be followed by a "SendFormat" method call and then an "Inputxxx" method call to take effect.
SendFormat
Parameters: FG, BG
Function: Sends to the ActiveTerminal the current Format Definition as created by one or more calls to the
DefineFormat method. It also sets the user-default display foreground and background colors. FG and BG are
ForeGround and BackGround colors for the 7001 (15-line) terminal (See Color Codes).
Must be followed by an "Inputxxx" method call to take effect.
InputAny
Parameters: line, position, prompt, shifted, timestamped
InputAnyColor
Parameters: line, position, prompt, shifted, timestamped, FG, BG
Function: This instructs the ActiveTerminal to display the prompt at line and position and wait for data to be entered
from either terminal keypad or scanner. If shifted is set to "true", the terminal will start in shifted mode.
Timestamped appends a (hhmmss) prefix to the returned data. FG and BG are ForeGround and BackGround
colors for the 7001 (15-line) terminal (See Color Codes).
InputKeyBd
Parameters: line, position, prompt, shifted, timestamped
InputKeyBdColor
Parameters: line, position, prompt, shifted, timestamped, FG, BG
Function: This instructs the ActiveTerminal to display the prompt at line and position and wait for data to be entered
from the terminal keypad only. If shifted is set to "true", the terminal will start in shifted mode. Timestamped
appends a (hhmmss) prefix to the returned data. FG and BG are ForeGround and BackGround colors for the 7001
(15-line) terminal (See Color Codes).
InputExtKeyBd
Parameters: line, position, prompt
InputExtKeyBdColor
Parameters: line, position, prompt, FG, BG
Function: This instructs the ActiveTerminal to display the prompt at line and position and wait for data to be
received from the PS/2 keyboard attached using an adaptor to the terminal serial port. Waiting for external
keyboard input can be bypassed by pressing the enter key on the terminal which will send an empty data string to
the host (fires the OnTermData event handler). External keyboards are supported by terminals using firmware
version RFU1010 or later. FG and BG are ForeGround and BackGround colors for the 7001 (15-line) terminal
(See Color Codes).
InputScanner
Parameters: line, position, prompt, allowbreakout, timestamped
InputScannerColor
Parameters: line, position, prompt, allowbreakout, timestamped, FG, BG
Function: This instructs the ActiveTerminal to display the prompt at line and position and wait for data to be entered
from the terminal scanner only. Setting allowbreakout to true allow user to "break out" of scanner only mode by
