PowerTCP Emulation Tool ActiveX | PowerTCP Emulation Tool for .Net

PowerTCP Emulation Tool ActiveX

Build terminal emulation capabilities into your application with VT and Telnet Controls. Screen scraping, advanced graphic fonts and superior printing capabilities make this tool suitable for the most demanding applications.

• VT Control
  VT52, VT100, VT220, and VT320 emulation for visual interface or invisible "screen-scraping" applications.
• Telnet Control
  Manages Telnet, rsh, rexec and rlogin connections, and simplifies their use by providing methods to establish, use and terminate sessions. Communications can optionally block execution of your program for scripting applications, or high-performance event-driven communications can be selected for interactive applications.

Benefits & Features

• Included VT320 Emulator projects can be enhanced and deployed ROYALTY-FREE!
• VT Control supports invisible "screen scraping" and keyboard re-mapping.
• Advanced VT graphic font support.
• VT Control supports superior printing capabilities including auto print, printer-controller, print screen, print pass through for post-script printing and scroll back buffer.
• Telnet supports automatic option negotiation using properties for terminal type, echo and window size, eliminating the extra step of dealing with option negotiation code.
• Telnet fully supports sub-option and manual option negotiation for advanced applications.
• All the benefits listed in the PowerTCP Overview.

PowerTCP ActiveX Overview

These quality tools represent state-of-the-art component design. Our customers deserve nothing less:

• Components are "lean and mean" ActiveX (ATL) controls and simple COM objects with no dependence on large run-time DLLs.
• All tools include and use an unlicensed DartStream Object that simplifies and improves file-access performance (especially under VB).
• Most controls are invisible -- perfect for B2B applications.
• Controls can be placed on forms OR dynamically instantiated, making them perfect for form-based environments like Visual Basic AND formless environments like ASP (Active Server Pages).
• Dependency (.dep) files are included for all controls, fully supporting Microsoft's Package & Deployment Wizard.

Blocking behavior is optional, so applications can be written using blocking or non-blocking operation. Scripting languages like VB Script and Java Script are fully supported. Perfect for ASP (Active Server Pages)!

• Apartment Model Threading provides multi-thread support for the most demanding applications.
• Advanced Programming Object Model speeds development -- collection properties provide superior list handling, formatting objects make it easier to manipulate complex structures (like MIME and SNMP messages), and the use of enumerated types and objects makes your job as simple as it should be.
• Debugging support is built in, simplifying interoperability trouble-shooting.

Sample Projects

• Fully functional VT320 Emulator can be enhanced and deployed ROYALTY-FREE! (VB 5, Visual C++, Delphi and C++Builder)

Potential Uses/Applications

• Web-enable legacy systems with screen mapping.
• Custom front-end for an Informix system.
• "Screen-scraping" applications running canned reports.
• Remote console for a Video Bridge.
• Automate terminal sessions and file transfers.

Compatibilities

• Development Environments: Visual Studio, Office 97 (VBA), C++Builder, Delphi, PowerBuilder and other environments that supports ActiveX (ATL) controls.
• Operating Systems: Windows 95/98, NT4, NT 2000.

Customer Feedback

• "I recently bought the PowerTCP Emulation Tool from your company and integrated it into my [Delphi] application. It does a GREAT job for me and is just what I needed to implement a custom terminal emulator in my application!"

PowerTCP Emulation Tool for .Net

• VT control emulates VT-52, VT-100, VT-220 and VT-320 terminals.
• Interprets text and escape sequences to display a screen that can be used interactively (like a regular terminal) or invisibly (to capture screen text).
• Screen scraping returns all the text in the scroll-back buffer as well as the display.
• Integrated Telnet component provides a default real-time data source, but any 7 or 8-bit source can be used.
• Numerous display options are available to customize your screen.
• Printing of the display is fully supported, as is the printing of postscript files and auto-print (prints each line as it is received).
• Screens can be scraped to HTML, transforming style information into HTML tags.
• Graphic characters for box drawing are fully supported for all fonts.
• Key remapping is easily coded.
• Dynamic scroll-back buffer can save hundreds (or thousands) of lines.
• Includes all the capability available in PowerTCP Telnet for .NET (Telnet, rexec, rsh, rlogin).
• Single development license with royalty-free distribution.
• Integrated Help 2.0 documentation includes over a dozen tutorials and a comprehensive reference guide with full support for dynamic help.
• Supports VS.NET, Delphi 8, C# Builder, and other .NET compliant development environments.
