Function Key Panel
axFKeyPanel
Description
A typical 5250 screen shows function keys in two rows at the bottom of the screen. aXes emulates the screen by displaying function keys as buttons in the same place. The aXes Function Keys Panel is a separate HTML panel that sits adjacent to a terminal server panel and contains the function keys displayed as buttons. The Enter key button is always available and the screen in the terminal server panel determines the other function keys available in the function keys panel. The terminal server panel includes no function keys when the function keys panel is active

Notes, Comments and Warnings
The function key panel extension works on TS2.
AutoGUI options for TS1 developer are not available, as the function key panel extension does not work on TS1.
Function key panel if configured as autoGUI options, dynamically inserts this extension into every available screen. Same properties appear on autoGUI options.
When using the function keys panel extension and autoGUI on customized screens, the function key panel extension takes priority and overrides autoGUI settings.
Button Label options to select text only, function key only and both text and function key overrides the “Show function key number on button” options.
Screens containing selectable items, with select type “button”, will have the buttons positioned in the function keys panel. Screens with pop up windows that contain function keys retain the function key buttons and the buttons do not appear in the function keys panel.
AutoGUI Options
AutoGui options is accessible only on TS2 developer tools. Start TS2 developer tools within the development session or add “&dev” to URL of TS2 this will enable developer mode and AutoGui tab will be accessible within the developer tab panel. Check Show function keys on Panel to enable the options.
