[gameprogrammer] Off Topic: Re: Defining Function Keys

Hi, It really depends on the client software you are going to use. Each one
will probably have its own way of allowing you to send keystrokes to it ,
like macros etc that plug into the old legacy application.

However, there is an "industry standard" way of controlling terminal
emulators : many now support HllAPI function calls. HllAPI I think will do
what you require, so long as the emulator supports hllapi (most do, even
frreebies / sharewares) Just google hllapi and see what you come up with.

Regards

  Subject: [gameprogrammer] Re: Defining Function Keys


  sorry to be so vague with the details.  We have a terminal program that we
use and now we are upgrading dumb terminals to thin clients.  I find some
VT100 terminal software called Tera TermPro the only problem is defining the
keys so that it will run with our program.  For Example I want to define
  F2 to be .lb2 [enter]
  Tera TermPro is programmed in C++ so what I was looking is for like a
applett that can plugin and be ran to define the keys.  The way they have it
setup in Tera TermPro is that you can define user keys but it just enters as
a string whereas [enter] would appear like written and not actually be a
return. Anybody have any ideas on where to go from here?

    What do you mean "define"? I believe this answer is going to depend
    alot on what environment and libraries you are using.
