HLLAPI Options
Update Screen After PS Update—Selects the text you send to the host. By default, this option is disabled to enhance performance. When you copy text to the screen using CopyStringToPS or CopyStringToField, the emulator window is not updated with the text.
Auto Sync—Synchronizes any sent AID generating keys (Enter, PFx, PAx, Clear) with the host system. This option is similar to enabling Type Ahead for the API. The SendKey API does not return until the host has updated the screen and unlocked the keyboard.
Auto Unload—Makes a call to DisconnectPS terminate the session, if that session was started automatically using ConnectPS.
Start Session—Lets you select the window mode of all future sessions started by a ConnectPS call. This option does not affect sessions already started. Select Normal Window, Minimized, Maximized, or Hidden.
Enable Tracing to File—Enables tracing and creates a trace file named ehllapi.txt in the My Documents directory.
Trace File Name—Lets you enter a path and file name for the trace file, or lets you browse to one.
Enable DDE Server—Enables the DDE Server.
DDE Server Name—Lets you enter a name for the DDE server.
EHLLAPI Compatibility—Specifies whether the EHLLAPI interface (ACS3EHAP.dll) is compatible with Attachmate's EXTRA! for Windows or Irma Workstation for Windows.
