IPF Editor 2.x Using ACViewport Tags Questions and Answers


Do I Really have to program to use the ACVIEWPORT command?

Yes. You must have a Communications Object DLL available to receive the acviewport's instructions. For more details on writing Communications Object DLL's see the IBM IPF User's Guide and Reference.


Editing Document Headers

See this sections for answers to questions about editing document headers.


What types of things go in the user editable portion of the document header?

Generally you will only use this to place comments (&per.*) in the document heading. It is also handy to fix any problems in files generated with other IPF tools and lets you have direct access to those problems.


When do I use the Edit Document Header command?

Use it when you want to generate a non-standard VIEW or HLP document. Generally this is only a concern when you use panel heading levels of five or greater or if you wish to modify the document size and position. You can also use it to create and modify the push buttons displayed in both the VIEW program and the Help Manager.


Can I Modify the push buttons displayed in the VIEW program?

Yes. Use the "IPF commands, Special commands, Edit document header" command. Then select "Change Push Button Defs".
