Re: [EXTERNAL] Mouse event for 5250 session?

Well these days it is not the route I would use Alan but "in the day" there were Brad Stone's books which you can find under the "Books and Training section at https://bvstools.com/ <https://bvstools.com/>. The alternative that I normally used and taught was IBM's CGIDEV2 - now maintained and supported by Giovanni Perotti at easy400.net <http://easy400.net/>

The old Penton family publications put out quite a lot of articles but sadly that repository has all but vanished.

Nowadays we would normally look to either using a third party tool such as Profound, or Websmart, or CNX, or refactoring the RPG app into web services and then using node, Python, PHP or whatever on the front end.

Hi
Quick question to Jon first
Can you recommend any books, web sites etc to "converting" to web browser

Now a question to Dave - what size is your display?
24 x 80 or 27 x 132
We had one person ask this same question a year or so ago - not realizing that the display size can be changed to 27 x 132
Your screen may already be that size - but Im trying not to assume

I guess you could use a mouseover event to trigger a pop-up window. I've never used that "mousy" stuff on 5250 myself - switched to browser output many moons ago.

For that matter just using the QUILNGTX API would do the job. There's an ITJungle article on that here: https://www.itjungle.com/2011/09/21/fhg092111-story02/ <https://www.itjungle.com/2011/09/21/fhg092111-story02/><https://www.itjungle.com/2011/09/21/fhg092111-story02/ <https://www.itjungle.com/2011/09/21/fhg092111-story02/>>

Hello,

I need to increase the size of an output field on a screen that is
already full. Was wondering if I could mouseover the field so that it
would show the non-truncated form that is currently shown.
Is this kind of functionality available? We're on V7R1.
Looking for a cheap solution :-)
