Remarks

The Terminal Emulation control provides a comprehensive interface for emulating an ANSI or DEC-VT220 terminal, with full support for all standard escape and control sequences, color mapping and other advanced features. The control provides both a high level interface for parsing escape sequences and updating a display, as well as lower level primitives for directly managing the virtual display, such as controlling the individual display cells, moving the cursor position and specifying display attributes.

This control can be used in conjunction with the Remote Command, Secure Shell or Telnet Protocol controls to provide terminal emulation services for an application, or it can be used independently. For example, this control could be used to provide emulation services for a program that connects to a device using an RS-232 serial port.

Requirements

The SocketTools ActiveX Edition components are self-registering controls compatible with any programming language that supports COM (Component Object Model) and the ActiveX control specification. If you are using Visual Basic 6.0 you must have Service Pack 6 (SP6) installed. It is recommended that you install all updates for your development tools.

This control is supported on Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2 and later versions of the desktop and server platforms. If you are using Windows 7, you must have Service Pack 1 (SP1) installed as a minimum requirement. It is recommended that you install the current service pack and all critical updates available for the operating system.

This product includes both 32-bit and 64-bit ActiveX controls. Native 64-bit CPU support requires the latest 64-bit version of Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2 or later versions of the Windows operating system.

Distribution

When you distribute an application that uses this control, you should install the appropriate file in the Windows system directory. ActiveX controls must be registered on the target system by the installation program before they can be used by an application.
