  • Page 94 Custom OS Installations Trux Configuration Guide Click on the Formats button. Select the Default format and then click on the Edit button. Change the text in the Data Output Format edit box to Input() + "\x83". \x83 is a way of expressing a character ASCII value in hexadecimal instead of writing the actual character.
  • Page 95 Trux Configuration Guide Custom OS Installations A common mistake many users do when they want to use more than one profile/com port is to install WLinq several times. That won't work. Do like this: Create a new profile, give it a name, for example Scanner. Click on the Settings button, select all your settings and then click on OK in the Settings dialog box.
  • Page 96 Custom OS Installations Trux Configuration Guide Step 5 - Translation and simulation of key presses Up to this point all data and expressions are ASCII text. In this step WLinq parses the matched data edit format's output format. Functions as Left, Mid, and Right are processed to extract parts of the data string.
  • Page 97 Trux Configuration Guide Custom OS Installations Platform The core components of WLinq consist of one .exe file and one DLL file. The DLL file is for Caps Lock handling. The name of the DLL is CapsLook.dll. There are some extra components: WLinq Monitor and WLinq Settings Exporter are both used for troubleshooting.

  • Page 99 Trux Configuration Guide Custom OS Installations Using SetProfile verb when WLinq's window was hidden 2004-09-08 caused the active window to lose focus. The data string terminator can now be more than one character. There were some minor problems with scanners using cr/lf as their terminator. The Initialization String was sent twice at startup.

Makes support easier. Changed the key translation table so it can be customized also when used with Citrix clients.
  • Page 101 Trux Configuration Guide Custom OS Installations Fixed a bug that showed itself when running more than one instance of WLinq and then exited them in a certain order. To solve a problem with older Citrix clients (tested on 2001-05-07 4.20.741), hardware scan codes were added to the characters/keys with the ASCII values 32 to 127, tab, backspace, shift, control, and alt.
  • Page 102 Custom OS Installations Trux Configuration Guide File Plugin When you start the File Plugin it subscribes to WLinq's data strings.

The files are named 1.txt, 2.txt and so on.

  • Page 136 Custom OS Installations Trux Configuration Guide Characters In different places in the program where you can specify any kind of data string you can use an alternative way of writing characters. You can write \xNN or \dNNN to specify a character's ASCII value instead of writing the character itself.
  • Page 137 Trux Configuration Guide Custom OS Installations Send data directly to an application In some cases a more direct communication between WLinq and the receiving program is needed. In WLinq 2.10 and later there is an alternative way of sending data to a program. Instead of simulating key presses, the data strings can be sent with the message WM_COPYDATA to the receiving program.
  • Page 138 Custom OS Installations Trux Configuration Guide The method OnCopyData below is a handler for the WM_COPYDATA message. It receives a COPYDATASTRUCT structure pointer. The member lpData of that struct contains the data string from WLinq. lpData is a string pointer. The receiving program must call the function ReplyMessage as soon as the data string has been saved in a variable because WLinq hangs until either ReplyMessage is called or the processing of the WM_COPYDATA message is finished.
