MessageBuilder defaults
MessageBuilder software keeps the most recent Standard Toolbar
and Status Bar settings as its default settings. Default settings are
used:
•
the next time MessageBuilder software is opened
•
when a new application is created.
In addition, the Preferences command on the Application menu
offers other selectable options. See Page 7–14.
The Terminal View displays messages approximately as they will
appear on a MessageView 421 terminal. This view represents the
front face of the type of terminal the application is designed for.
Display area in the Terminal View.
Message Edit Box in the Table View.
The Message Edit box on the Table View is active while the
Terminal View is displayed. If the Terminal View is the active
window, as a message is edited the changes appear in the Terminal
View display.
The Terminal View may be enlarged or reduced using the Zoom
tools or the Zoom command on the View menu. See Page 7–17.
Note: The Terminal View, like the MessageView terminal, can
display only:
21 characters in Quarter text size
10 characters in Half text size
7 characters in Full text size.
If the message is longer than the Terminal View can display, scroll
through the message in the Message Edit box to see the remainder of
the message. When the Terminal View is the active window, its
display will follow the insertion point in the Message Edit box. That
is, it will scroll through the message up to the cursor point.
