2423.0. "GOLD G - without the UI !" by JOCKEY::MARSHALLJ (Glad that the devil is red ......) Tue Mar 16 1993 18:54

    
    		*** Getting a file directly into WPS-plus ***
    
    Hi,
    
    
    I'm rustier than I thought (know!) as a customer has just asked me how
    you get a file directly into WPS, using a UDP `attached' to a key.
    
    Basically, exactly the same functionality as GOLD Get, except;
    
    - no choice in filename/document etc, same one all the time
    - consequently, the GOLD G UI (display of forms, input from script) is
    a bit clunky and they would like to omit/hide it from the user, but
    with the same end-result
    
    I thought you'd be able to do it using merge (specifying no output
    file) but I can't get it to work.  
    
    Should it ?
    
    Does it ?
    
    Any clues to where I'm going wrong.
    
    Regards,
    John

2423.1I'm not sure you can do this...IOSG::PYEGraham - ALL-IN-1 Sorcerer's ApprenticeWed Mar 17 1993 10:3811
    I started off thinking that you could just set up the same symbols that
    are used in GOLDGMENU, and it would be easy. Then I realised that I
    didn't know where the GOLD/G code was, so I searched through all the
    forms in the kit and couldn't find it. I conclude that it's built into
    the editor code somewhere, which may make your idea impossible to do.
    
    There might be a function that you could call after having set the
    symbols up, but I can't find it. Perhaps the WPS-PLUS group will know if
    you ask in their notesfile.

2423.2Not possible?IOSG::NEWLANDRichard Newland, IOSG, REO2-G/L2Wed Mar 17 1993 10:5613
I don't think it's possible.  When the WPS-PLUS editor is running it is in 
control of the keyboard and all key strokes (except ones like CTRL/Y which 
are intercepted by VMS) are processed by WPS-PLUS.  The keys used by 
WPS-PLUS cannot be changed by ALL-IN-1 customizations.  

The GOLD-G key causes WPS-PLUS to display the form GOLDGMENU.  The
GOLDGMENU menu sets symbols to tell WPS-PLUS what to get (Document or file)
and the name of document or file.  The only way you have of changing 
Gold-get is to customize GOLDGMENU and it's associated scripts and forms.
