NetAlive Documentation
NetAlive DocumentationA list box with all the source languages known to NetAlive The list box's selection identifies the source language of the source code.
Functional tasks contain only the name of the source language. A configuration file called "language.def" and stored on the local hard disk contains instructions for NetAlive on how to manage langauges on the basis of the language's name.
The source code field presents a task's source code for simple editing. Other commands must be used for more complex editing.
A task's source code generally consists of a series of binary or textual records. The source code field is a single-line text box that displays one record at a time. The user may edit source code through this box, although such editing is only practical if the source code is textual and not too long.
The source code shifting buttons let the user move among source code records. NetAlive initially displays the first source code record. The "->" button shifts to the next source record and "<-" the previous.
Pressing "->" while the last recored is displayed creates a new, empty, record (after requesting confirmation from the user). Pressing "<-" when positioned on the first record has no effect.
The Quick Edit button loads the selected source code record into a textual editing dialog. The dialog is more convenient than the single-line field, but has the same effect.
The Native Edit button invokes the source language's native editor on the source code. (Not all languages have a native editor.)
Affects synchronization of inputs. See synchronization tutorial.
When the rerun period is non-empty, the function is periodically reevaluated. The numerical value of the rerun period is the number of seconds between reevaluations.
Controls the computer on which the widget executes. See addressing tutorial.
