Hello, All !
I have 2 questions on IDL.
Question #1.
Is it possible to do the sequence of actions which are done with function
DIALOG_DBCONNECT from
DataMiner API but without using the dialog mode ?
Question #2.
What IDL functions and procedures does one need to write a keyboard handler
which could handle events from
function keys and key combinations ? The keyboard handler is supposed to be
used in program with widget interface under
MS Windows ?

Thanks in advance.
Best regards, Evgeny Turchin.

Definitely. You use the IDLDBDatabase object's Connect method. It takes
CONNECTION or DATASOURCE keywords. Looking back over some old code I see
that I connected to a database with the commands

objDB = OBJ_NEW('IDLdbDatabase')
objDB->Connect, datasource='$Station Data'

Unfortunately I do not recall how I set up a data source called '$Station
Data'. I think this pointed to an .mdb file and that I set up the data
source via the ODBC Control Panel (Windows).

Hope this helps.
