ActiveX display control features
The ActiveX Display control includes all the standard features of an VT100 terminal plus additional ones that are only possible within a PC environment.
Persistent Connection
A client can establish a TCP/IP connection to the Server.
Non-persistent Connection
A client can establish an HTTP(S) connection to the Server.
System Function Keys
The traditional function keys of a VT100 terminal are mapped to their respective keys on the PC keyboard. For example, the VT100 Enter key is mapped to the [Enter] key of the PC keyboard and the VT100 function keys are mapped to the function keys of the PC keyboard.
The remaining VT100 function keys are mapped to combination keys on the PC keyboard. Click the Keyboard Mapping button on the ActiveX Display Toolbar to view the combination keys for these functions.
Local Print Screen
You can print the contents of your Display control using your Web browser, OLE application, or a custom application.
One session per browser
An ActiveX Display occupies one instance of Internet Explorer allowing you to open multiple Display sessions.
Local color mapping and font selection
You can select the attribute color for each element in the ActiveX Display control. You can also select the font (although it is recommended to keep the default font to ensure the correct VT100 character display), font style, and font size for your Display session.
Copy/Paste
Allows you to copy and paste fields within the ActiveX display control and with other applications.
Dynamic font and window resizing
The session window of the ActiveX Display control automatically occupies the entire window area of Internet Explorer and can resize the font to match the available area.
Resize the font using the Increase Font Size and Decrease Font Size buttons.
