GLIN

FOR WINDOWS

Increasing productivity

Glink provides you with simple and elegant ways of increasing productivity for users of legacy applications by

allocating terminal functions, macros or scripts to the Menu line, Toolbar, Function bar, Keyboard bar or to

hot-spot buttons generated automatically by the arrival of a configured text from the legacy application.

Function bar and Keyboard bar

You use the keyboard setup GUI to configure these optional button bars. By convention the Function bar is

used for buttons that send control sequences to the application, while the Keyboard bar is used for buttons

that have local editing or other functions, but this convention in no way restricts configuration of the two bars.

Here you see the keyboard bar.

Any button is a target for drag-

and-drop of a function from the

Functions pane. You can

assign any function to any

button in either bar. Select any

button in either bar, and with a

second click you open the

button text for editing, and can

choose any text.

Menu setup

You use the keyboard setup GUI to configure this unique feature for adding your own items to the menu line.

Here you see how a menu for mainframe

logon has been added to the menu line,

and an item added to that menu for logon

using a script selected from the Functions

pane.

Hot-spot buttons triggered by legacy application text

Very often legacy applications will offer menus requiring selection of a function using a function key. You can

convert a menu text such as ‘PF1’ to a hot spot button that transmits the sequence for PF1 simply by

checking an option in Glink’s screen facelifting setup. You can go further and convert any arbitrary legacy

application text to a hot spot button that executes a macro, and since any Glink macro can start a script you

have a very powerful tool for increasing the productivity of users accessing your legacy applications. A

simple example would be recognition of the login text, and a hot spot button to transmit your login name:

1 2 ... 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20
