For a character mode host, how the location of the cursor can be changed directly in relation to a field.

 

Note that this same property exists in Project Definition and Screen Definition objects, and that the "Default" setting will inherit from the active Screen Definition setting of the same property.

 

Value

Meaning

Default

Use the active setting for FieldCursorPositioning in the Parent Screen Definition.

Direction By Character (default)

Can reposition the cursor using up, down, left and right positioning keys.  Each move of the cursor is one row or column, irrespective of defined input fields.

Direction By Field

Can reposition the cursor using up, down, left and right positioning keys.  Each move of the cursor will jump to the closest field based on the active cursor location and the defined input fields on the screen.

Cursor Position Command

Host supports the sending of a "Cursor Positioning Sequence" or CUP command to directly position the cursor.  For a VT host, as an example, to position on row 2, column 3, the CUP command is [ESC]2;3H.

Custom Keystrokes

The PositionCustomKeys property is used to provide the keystroke(s) used to move the cursor directly to this field.
