4. Enter the number for the desired function key.
If you want to hide the function key label, you can make it invisible by not
assigning a border or foreground text, and by changing the background
color to the screen color. You can also decrease the size of the label down
to 1 character cell, and move it to an unused area of the screen.
IMPORTANT: If you need to use two function keys simultaneously, you
must use one from the horizontal group (F1-F16) and one from the vertical
group (F17-F21). Don’t use two from one section.
Buttons and Touch Screen Terminals
When you create a button for a Touch Screen terminal, you are designating
those touch cells that will make up the button, and the button’s label.
You must specify how big—how many touch cells wide and high—the
button is supposed to be. To specify size for single button objects (Screen
Selector Buttons, Control Push Buttons):
1. Choose Move and Size from the Object Menu.
2. Choose Size.
3. Use the arrow keys to shrink or stretch the touch cell.
4. Choose Margin Size to adjust the size of the button’s border.
To specify size for multi-button objects which have Up Cursor, Down
Cursor and Enter buttons all as part of one object, (the Screen List
Selector, Control List Selector, Control List Selector with Enter, Cursor
List and ASCII Input Object):
1. Choose Buttons from the Object Menu.
2. Choose a specific button.
3. Choose Size from the menu.
4. Use the arrow keys to shrink or stretch the touch cell.
5. Choose Margin Size to adjust the size of the button’s border.
