Modifying appearance properties

Click the Appearance tab to define general characteristics about the ActiveX Display control.

If you want to customize your ActiveX Display control's appearance, ensure the Use Server Colors and Use Server Font Size check boxes are not selected.

Note

When you select Use Server Colors and/or Use Server Font Size check boxes, the ActiveX Display ignores any changes you made to the session color and/or font size and uses the server defaults.

Select the View Resized to Fit checkbox to force the Display session window to occupy the whole visible area in Internet Explorer.

Select the Font resized to fit checkbox to force the ActiveX Display control to resize the font as you change the window size.

Note

If you do not select this checkbox, the font size does not change as you change the window size. You can resize the font manually using the Increase Font Size and Decrease Font Size buttons.

Select one of the following options from the GUI-on-the-fly panel:

•

Enabled which can be toggled on or off. Choosing this option will change the look of the buttons and edit fields.

•

Enable Text Colors which changes the font colors of non-editable fields.

•

3D Edit Fields which changes the appearance of an edit field from 2D to 3D.

•

Select the Blinking check box to make the selected cursor shape blink.

In the Cursor Caret Type panel, select how you want your cursor to appear:

•

Block: the cursor appears as a small square.

•

Horizontal line: the cursor appears as a small horizontal line.

•

Vertical line: the cursor appears as a small vertical line.

Select the Show Ruler Lines check box to enable the display of ruler lines on the screen.

Select the Show System Request menu to display the system request menu screen when hitting the system request key combination. If this option in unchecked, the display will show a line just above the status line where the user can enter the system request option without displaying the menu.
