Is there a way to get the Iconic Map PM to put up a menu of values when an operation is selected for a subentity? We have added a TRIGGER directive to our CMEAGT TESTOBJ object, and for the argument data type are using an enumerated list of values - it would be great if after the object has been selected and the TRIGGER operation selected the user saw a list of the keywords for the enumerated type ... - Rick Lord

Rick, Press MB2 over the field which is an enumeration. This brings up a popup menu with 3 menu entries: Use Default Value Expand Field Restore Field Selecting Use Default Value will display the actual default value if it is stored in the dictionary. If it is only known to the agent, we display --DEFAULT VALUE--. If there is no default, the menu entry is dimmed. Selecting Expand Field displays a listbox enumerating all the values if the datatype is an enumeration. For Set of/Sequence of Datatype, it allows the user to add another member. For other datatypes is displays a larger text widget so there is more space to enter a value. If the field cannot be expanded, the menu entry is dimmed. Restore Field clears any text from the field and toggles the send button to send. Hope this helps. Verna | |||||

Thanks, that works fine and I couldn't ask for it to be any easier! - Rick |
