Graphical Menus

Webulator/400 can add browser buttons to AS/400 menus to make it easier for the user to navigate through your AS/400 applications. When a user presses a menu browser button, it is the equivalent to typing the menu number in the accompanying input field and pressing the Enter key.

You have the following Menu Type choices:

No menu parsing - do not convert any menus to browser buttons.
Convert Menu Number - Converts the menu number to a browser button.
Convert Menu Description - Converts the menu description to a browser button.
Add Image Button - Adds an image button to the left of the menu number.

You can also specify which input capable field will receive that menu item value selected. You can specify either the *FIRST or *LAST field on the screen will receive the value.
