Establishes a connection between a presentation space in a host session connection and your windows HLLAPI application

2

DisconnectPresentationSpace

Disconnects a host session presentation space from a WinHLLAPI application

3

SendKey

Send from 1 to 255 keystrokes to the connected host session, and makes the keystrokes appear to be entered from the keyboard by a user on the host

4

Wait

6

SearchPresentationSpace

Search the current session host presentation space for a specific string. It returns a true (found) or false (not found).

7

QueryCursorLocation

Determine the location of the cursor in the host presentation space.

8

CopyPresentationSpaceToString

Copy all or part of the host presentation space to a string

9

SessionSetParameters

Set the options of the host session, and anything not set here uses the defaults. Options set here can only be cancelled by function 9 being re-issued or function 21 (reset system) is called.

10

QuerySessions

Returns the number of host sessions that are active, and returns a string value from each connection. Host printer sessions are not supported.

11

Reserve

Lock the user out and prevents keyboard input by reserving the current host session presentation space.

12

Release

Undoes the lockout imposed by the Reserve function, and allows keyboard input into the host session presentation space

13

CopyOIA

Returns the contents of the host session Operator Information Area (OIA)

14

QueryFieldAttribute

Returns the attribute byte of the field contained in the specified position in the host session presentation space

15

CopyStringToPresentationSpace

Copy an ASCII string from the PC to a specified position in the host session presentation space

18

Pause

Causes your application to wait for a specified time

20

QuerySystem

Determines the version of WHLLAPI under which your application is running

21

ResetSystem

Reset WHLLAPI to its default start state. All session options are reset to their defaults. Event notification is stopped. Any reserved sessions are released. Connected sessions are disconnected. The current status of host sessions is updated

22

QuerySessionStatus

Returns the status of a specified session

23

StartHostNotification

Initiates monitoring that notifies your application of changes in the host session presentation space or the Operator Information Area (OIA).

24

QueryHostUpdate

Follows up on function 23 and determines if the host session presentation space or OIA have changed since function 23 was issued, or this was issued

25

StopHostNotification

Cancels functions 23 and 24, and stops the notification of changes in the presentation space and the OIA

30

SearchField

Search a field in the host session presentation space for a specified string. This can be in either a protected or unprotected field, but only in a field-formatted presentation space

31

FindFieldPosition

Determine the starting position of a field in the host session presentation space

32

FindFieldLength

Determine the length of a field in the host session presentation space

33

CopyStringToField

Copy a string into a specified field in the host session presentation space

34

CopyFieldToString

Copy the contents of a specified field in the host session presentation space to a string

40

SetCursorPosition

Place the cursor at a specified location in the host session presentation space

41

StartCloseIntercept

Allows the application to intercept and prevent user requests to close the emulation program

42

QueryCloseIntercept

Determines if user is attempting to close the emulator application

43

StopCloseIntercept

Stops the interception and prevents users from issuing requests to close the emulation program

50

Start Keystroke Intercept

Enables your application to intercept keystrokes sent to a session by a user. Once called, the keystrokes can be received with the get key (function 51) and sent to the same session or another session with the send key (function 3). The keystrokes can be accepted or rejected by Post Intercept Status (function 52). They can be replaced with the send key, or used in a specific manner that suits your application

51

GetKey

Allows your application to receive the keystrokes that were intercepted by function 50, and to process them

52

PostInterceptStatus

Notifies WinHLLAPI that a keystroke obtained with the Get Key function 51 is either accepted or rejected. If rejected a beep sounds

53

StopKeystrokeIntercept

Disable the ability of your application to intercept keystrokes

90

SendFile

Transfers a file from the PC running the WinHLLAPI application to the host

91

ReceiveFile

Transfers a file from the host to the PC running the WinHLLAPI application

99

ConvertPosition/RowCol

Converts a host session presentation space into row and column values for the PC display, or it converts PC display’s row and column values into a host session presentation space position

101

ConnectWindowServices

Allows your application to manage the host session presentation space window. Only one application at a time can be connected to perform This, but more than one host session presentation space window can be managed concurrently

102

DisconnectWindowServices

Stops the functionality initiated by function 101, in that the application cannot use window services to manage a host session presentation space window

103

QueryWindowCoordinates

Requests the window co-ordinates for a host session presentation space

104

WindowStatus

Allows the application to query or change a host session presentation space window’s size, location, or visible state

105

ChangePSWindowName

Allows the application to specify a new name for the host session presentation space window, or reset the name to its default

 

Extensions for the Windows Environment

 

WinHLLAPICleanup

The application calls the WinHLLAPICleanup() function to deregister a WinHLLAPI application from a WinHLLAPI implementation. This could be used, for example, to free up resources allocated to a specific application

WinHLLAPIStartup

This allows an application to specify the version of WinHLLAPI required, and to retrieve details of a specific WinHLLAPI implementation. This MUST be called by a WinHLLAPI application before it registers itself with the specific WinHLLAPI implementation that it queries

WinHLLAPIAsync

This function provides an asynchronous flavor to the following HLLAPI functions: STARTKSINTERCEPT, WAIT, STARTHOSTNOTIFICATION, STARTCLOSEINTERCEPT, SENDFILE, and RECEIVEFILE. You should use WinHLLAPIAsync( ) instead of the blocking versions of these functions

WinHLLAPICancelAsyncRequest

This function cancels an outstanding WinHLLAPIAsync( )-based request

WinHLLAPIIsBlocking

This function allows a task to determine if it is executing while waiting for a previous blocking call to complete

WinHLLAPICancelBlockingCall

This function cancels any outstanding blocking operation for its thread. Any outstanding blocked call canceled will cause an error code of WHLLCANCEL to be generated. Examples of blocking calls are WinHLLAPI with function number set to GETKEY, WAIT, PAUSE, SENDFILE or RECEIVEFILE. You should use WinHLLAPIAsync( ) instead of the blocking versions of these functions

WinHLLAPISetBlockingHook

This function installs a new function which a Windows HLLAPI Implementation should use to implement blocking HLLAPI function calls

WinHLLAPIUnhookBlockingHook

This function removes any previous blocking hook that has been installed and reinstalls the default blocking mechanism
