Examples

This example changes the effect of the F12 key in a VT terminal session. It interrupts the original transmission and sends alternate data (the string "test" for this example) to the host.

Private Sub Session_BeforeTerminalKey(Key As Long, Continue As Boolean)

 'Check to see if F12 was the key pressed

 If Key = rcVtF12Key Then

  'Transmit alternate data

  Session.Transmit "test"

  'Cancel the original transmission

  Continue = False

 End If

End Sub

This example is designed for use with HP host applications that use F8 to exit. The event procedure puts up a confirmation dialog box when F8 is pressed. If the user clicks No, the keystroke is not transmitted to the host.

Private Sub Session_BeforeTerminalKey(Key As Long, Continue As Boolean)

 'Check to see if F8 was the key pressed

 If Key = rcHpF8Key Then

  'Display a confirmation dialog box

  If MsgBox("Exit?", vbYesNo) = vbNo Then

   'Cancel the transmission if the user clicks No

   Continue = False

  End If

 End If

End Sub
