Before you begin, you must complete Exercise 7.1: Adding a new command key description pattern.
The WebFacing Tool allows you to specify command key descriptions for command keys that are commonly used in your application but not described in your DDS source and on your screens. This way the push button labels on the Web pages can automatically be changed during conversion to the correct text. You will add the description Cancel to the WebFacing conversion properties so the push button will get created to show a Cancel label instead of F12.
To add command key button labels:
The Properties for wflabxx dialog opens.
In the right pane of this dialog, the Command Key Button Labels
opens.
The additional label is now part of the WebFacing conversion properties for this WebFacing project.
Next, back in the workbench, convert the changed application.
Reconverting DDS members
To convert the application in the workbench:
After the conversion, take a look at the change.
Testing the new label
Let's see the new label for the F12 push button in your WebFacing application.
To test the new label:
You have changed the text for the F12 command key, reconverted the DDS members and tested the command key label.
Module recap
You have completed Module 7. Adding command key rules and labels. You have learned how to:
Now that you have a Web user interface so the green screen look doesn't show through as much as after the first WebFacing conversion you did in Module 3. Converting selected source members; you want to add some more refinements to the appearance of your Web pages. Continue to Module 8. Working with more style properties.
