Text frames
A text frame definition file begins with a single set of
frame descriptors (ones that define
attributes of the whole text frame),
and it can end with one or more optional sets of SLK descriptors that
define the screen-labeled function keys (one set per SLK)
that will be displayed when the text frame is the current
frame in the user's work area.
Some of the attributes of a text frame that you can define are the following:
-
the title of the text frame
-
a non-scrolling header for the text frame
-
the text to be displayed
-
whether users can modify the text
-
the position of the text frame in the work area
-
the longevity of the text frame
-
new labels and functions for the SLKs
The descriptors in a text frame definition file must follow this order:
frame_descriptor_1
.
.
.
frame_descriptor_n
[SLK-n_descriptor_1
.
.
.
SLK-n_descriptor_n
...]
NOTE:
Out-of-order descriptors will be ignored if this order--frame, then
SLKs--is not followed.
