1041.0. "Can IMPM layout be changed?" by ZPOVC::RAMARAJ () Wed May 22 1991 11:37

    Can the IMPM layout be changed? ie. can the way the different commands, 
    set, show, test, etc......appearing on the screen be modified.  If 
    possible, what needs to be done?

    If not now, will it be ever possible, maybe in release X.Y??
    
    I have a customer who is impressed with HP Openview, in which the startup 
    file can be modified, because it is based on Motif and the widgets can be 
    manipulated.
    
    Guess this is one of the great user interface that it offers.

    In the same vein, how would this be done?  I'm working on an 'audit'
    function, that uses DECpresent and 'LIVELINK' to access the RDB
    database information created by an extract command.  I want to be
    'clicked' on a device - pull down operations, and select 'audit'. 
    Parameters such as 'global class' and 'name' are passed to a script
    which invokes my application, resulting in a printed sheet of paper.
    How do I get the 'audit' verb into the 'operations' menu, and how to I
    trigger the 'DO x.com' with the correct parameters passed?

1041.2options for new "functions" vs. new "commands"TOOK::CALLANDERThu May 23 1991 11:2415
Bill,

the way you described it, you want audit to show up on the operations
menu. Well to do that add the command to the dictionary for the entities
you want to support it on, and then enroll an AM or FM that picks up
the request and starts your DECpresent application. Doing this will
provide you with the new command you are looking for from both the FCL
and IM PM.

If you simply want to add an access point from the IMPM to a new "application"
we are working on a mechanism to support enrollable applications right now.
That effort is being spearheaded by Jim Lemmon and Pete Savage, when something
more concrete is ready I am sure they will be publishing it.
