Internet
Runtime
TenCORE material can run over the Internet using
standard HTTP Internet protocol either embedded in a browser
or independent of any browser. User interaction is
fast and smooth with only the required units of a lesson
being fetched from the Internet server. The TenCORE Runtime and user
material can be launched through a browser hyperlink or through a Windows
shortcut.
Try it! A Demo Version of the Internet
Runtime is available.
Legacy DOS support
The TenCORE LAS 9.0 executor will generally run legacy DOS-authored
material with few if any changes. For example, most TenCORE Producer DOS-authored material can be run without modification.
Hypertext
Text in write statements can be linked to
other units or programs. During editing, a right click on
highlighted text brings up a hyperlink editor. The link can
be a jump, do or library
call to a unit, the execution of any Windows program, or
connection to an Internet URL through a launched browser.
During runtime, hypertext can be shown colored and
underlined, and with the pointer changing to a pointing hand.
Missing links can be programmed to be ignored, pop-up an
error information window, or produce an execution error.
True Windows
Standard Windows API windows with title bars, borders,
sizing, etc. are provided. Multiple windows can be opened
anywhere on the desktop. An eventunit can be designated for
each window to handle Windows messages (such as
"resize"), timed events, flow events, mouse events
and menu selections. Any window can be selected for display
output or as the focus for pointer and keyboard input. Hidden
windows can provide extra "pages" for purposes such
as display transitions.
For upward compatibility and special purposes, the
previous hierarchical TenCORE windows remain supported.
SQL Support
An SQL support library allows access to any ODBC database
connection. Capabilities include: retrieve table names,
retrieve column names and structure, perform SQL Query and
retrieve results.
