The GUI property page of the Display Options property sheet is used to configure HotSpots in the Session Window. From the BlueZone MenuBar, select Options:Display or click the right mouse button while holding the mouse pointer over the session window and choose Display Options. Choose the GUI tab.
HotSpots ----
The HotSpots Options group is used to enable and configure HotSpots.
Enable HotSpots: If enabled, BlueZone will create HotSpots based on the criteria stored in the Customize dialog. Also, BlueZone will create HotSpots when the following file extensions are found on the screen; .jpg, .bmp, .doc, .xls, and .pdf. When these HotSpots are clicked, BlueZone will send the filename and path, if provided, to Windows. Windows will use its current file association to launch the correct application.
Display HotSpots as Buttons: If enabled, HotSpots will be displayed as buttons in the session window.
Use Mouse Pointer and Colors to Show HotSpots: If enabled then HotSpots will be invisible until the mouse pointer is positioned over them. In that case the configured foreground and background colors are used to reveal the HotSpot.
Foreground Color: Used to set the HotSpot foreground color.
Background Color: Used to set the HotSpot background color.
Customize: Select the Customize button to customize HotSpots functionality.
SEE For more information, see Customize HotSpots Button below
Expand HotSpots to Include Associated Text: If enabled, then the HotSpot will expand to include any associated text. For example, a HotSpot labeled ‘F3’ may expand to a HotSpot labeled ‘F3=Exit’.
Expand HotSpots Across Single Spaces: If enabled, then the HotSpot will expand across single spaces.
NOTE HotSpots only work in protected fields.
Edit ----
The Edit group is used to enable or disable the GUI Edit Controls option. This option turns the normal command line into an "edit box" to emulate a more GUI like user interface. The behavior of the cursor and other edit controls inside an "edit box" is more like a typical Windows program.
Display Unprotected Fields Using GUI Edit Controls: If enabled, unprotected fields will be replaced with GUI edit controls.
TIP This feature is especially useful when the end users are more familiar with Windows applications than with IBM terminal emulation programs.
Auto-GUI On / Off ----
The Auto-GUI On/Off group is used to select GUI or Green Screen mode.
GUI Me and Close: Used to set the display options to the default GUI settings and close the Display Options dialog box.
Green Me and Close: Used to set the display options to the default non-GUI settings and close the Display Options dialog box.
Options ----
The Options group contains controls for the configuration of session HotSpots.
Turn "Number" Strings into HotSpots: If enabled, HotSpots will be created for number strings that are enclosed by spaces in the session window.
Turn "Number+Period" Strings into HotSpots: If enabled, HotSpots will be created for number strings that are enclosed by spaces on the left and a period(.) on the right.
Turn "HTTP://" Strings into HotSpots (Auto-Launch Web Browser to URL): If enabled, "http://" strings will be used to auto-launch the web browser to the designated address.
Turn "FILE://" Strings into HotSpots (Auto-Open File): If enabled, "file://" strings will be used to auto-open the designated file.
Custom Search Strings: Displays a list of the currently configured custom HotSpots search strings. BlueZone will search the session window each time a host write occurs and will create a HotSpot if the search string is found.
New: Used to define a new custom search string.
Edit: Used to edit the currently highlighted custom search string.
Delete: Used to remove the currently highlighted custom search string from the list.
Action / Function: Displays the action that occurs when a HotSpot that is defined for the currently highlighted search string is selected. To change the action simply select a different entry from the list.

NOTE When creating new custom search strings, keep in mind that HotSpots only work in protected fields.
