The Outline a Touchkey command creates the visual border for a touchkey. The position of the
cursor is not changed when this command is executed.
The area of the display affected by this command is restricted to the scrolling region if the Origin
Mode is set.
The attribute of the border are determined by the attribute already defined by the last Set
Character Attributes command (unless the NOCHANGE Attribute Mode is set). For example, if
the Set Character Attributes command has turned on the conceal attribute, the border is invisible.
The border of a touchkey consists of those character positions within the touchkey adjacent to
the touchkey’s edges.
Four border types are available. Each border is drawn using a different Boxtype character. A
border using each Boxtype character is shown below:
For the Outline a Touchkey command to produce correct and predictable results, the touchkey’s
line type must be determined. Line type is determined according to the following rules:
•
If the touchkey contains any double-size lines, the entire touchkey is assumed to be
composed of double-size lines.
•
If the touchkey contains any double-width lines, the entire touchkey is assumed to be
composed of double-width lines.
•
If the touchkey does not contain any double-width or double-size lines, the touchkey is
assumed to be composed of all normal lines.
NOTE
Undesirable results may be produced if the Outline a Touchkey command is executed on a touchkey that
contains mixed line types.
If the touchkey specified in this command designates a touch cell within a touchkey (but not the
master cell), an outline is drawn around that touch cell rather than the entire touchkey.
