Command Strings
A template which has been compiled into Forms.VX may be activated directly from the VX command line by using an "!" followed by the template name. You will also see this used inside of menu templates to initiate operation templates.
The command tokens used to initiate actions are as follows:
|
! |
If a command is preceded by an exclamation point (!), it is assumed to be the name of a command template. The template is retrieved from "Forms.VX" and executed. |
|
$ |
If a command is preceded by a dollar sign ($), it is passed to the string event handlers logged with the Input Manager via "InMgrLogAppEh" (Log Application Event Handler). |
|
~ |
If a command is preceded by a tilde (~), it is assumed to be the name of a void function with void arguments (void function(void)). The specified function is called. |
|
| |
If a command is preceded by a pipe (|), it is assumed to be one of the hard-coded commands used to control the operation of the Input Manager (example: |FormEscape). |
If a command is not preceded by !, $, or ~, it is passed to the string event handler for the active virtual form widget.
