Select this option to treat the screen size as if it were 24 rows by 80 columns instead of 27 rows by 132 columns. When a screen has this option selected the GUI form will display only the contents that are bounded by the 24x80 area within the form.
This option can be used to convey additional (invisible) application information. When this option is checked, data outside the bounding 24x80 rectangle will be invisible to the application user. The Newlook developer can access information outside the 24x80 area using the GetPS macro action or method.
The host application will behave as originally written and process the screen in a normal way when the screen is sent or received however Newlook will not display data residing in any row greater than 24 or any column greater than 80.
To position the screen cursor for application specific processing, when the screen is returned to the host application, use the Form object’s SendCursor property. This property specifies the row and column position to place the cursor when a form is sent to the host for further cursor location dependant processing.
