719.0. "Dynamic change of entity nick name" by NNTPD::"[email protected]" (Uwe Noffke) Wed May 07 1997 15:42

Hello,

I,ve got a question concerning the behaviour of entities displayed in a map
window.

Is it possible to send a command to the IMPM to change the nick name of an
entity that is displayed in the current map window?

I need this functionality to display the usage of a large number of harddisks
at a glance.

Regards

Uwe

719.1There is no API for changing the nicknameTAEC::STANARDTue May 13 1997 18:1212
Uwe,

There is no API that allows you to dynamically alter the nick name of an
entity displayed on a map.

You can modify the nickname in the map file and close/open the map and the
name will be changed. This of course comes under the heading of "Unsupported
Hack! Use at your own Risk!". It does work, however. 

Regards,

Bob
