New behavior of STRPCCMD
Pause (PAUSE)
Specifies whether the computer should pause after running a command.
The possible values are:
- Yes
- The computer will pause after running the command before returning
to emulator session. The default value is Yes. OIA will be locked
until the execution of the command is complete.
- For applications running on a separate command window (like DOS commands, etc), once the command finishes execution, a message is displayed saying "Press any key to continue". The emulator session is enabled for input only at the user intervention.
- For GUI applications (for example, notepad.exe), once the user closes the application, focus is returned back to emulator session.
- For non-graphical processes (those that do not have a window, such as background processes), a prompt will be displayed once the command execution is complete. The emulator session is enabled for input only at the user intervention.
- No
- The computer returns immediately to the Personal Communications menu after running
the command. OIA will get locked until focus is returned back to Personal Communications.
- For applications running on a separate command window (like DOS commands, etc), once the command finishes execution, the emulator session is enabled for input.
- For GUI applications, once the user closes the application, the emulator session is enabled for input.
- For non-graphical applications or commands not running on command window, once the command execution finishes, the emulator session is enabled for input.
Note:
- The "computer" means the "emulator session".
- The terms "emulator session" and "Personal Communications menu" are used interchangeably.
- User will have to take care of pausing the application executed using "cmd /c" or "cmd /k" options.
- Registry key STRPCCMD_Pause is no longer supported.
- STRPCCMD_Pause keyword is no longer supported.
