Server Configuration Dialog
Tkplay RDF Server Configuration Dialog
- Host/Port combobox
- Enter a new rdf server host/port here. Press to
add the server. The "Add" button may also be used to
add a new server.
The arrow button at the right activates a drop-down
menu. Whenever a new server is entered (and
or Add is pressed)
-
- Ping Server button
- Send a ping to the server to see if it's still alive.
The button will turn green if a valid reponse is
heard from the server. The button will turn red if
one is never received, or an invalid reponse is received.
- Load Commands button
- Pressing this button will cause the current
list of filters
to be cleared and replaced with the filters available on
the current server.
- Send Command entry field
- Debugging feature:
Use at your own Risk!
Send a command to the server. The arguments of this
field are passed to the "Rinfo::send_cmd" procedure
exactly as-is. Callbacks must be set here or defaults
will be used.
- Send Direct entry field
- Debugging feature:
Use at your own Risk!
Send a command to the server. The arguments of this
field are passed directly to the server. Since the
message is sent directly to the server, no callbacks
can be set for the command. As a result, the behaviour
for callbacks is undefined. Existing callbacks may be
used, and thus, may produce an error.
- Add button
- This button takes the contents of the server host/port
combobox and tries to add it as the current server.
If the server has been contacted before,
it is set as the new server and a ping is sent to make sure
it is still alive. If it has not been contacted
before, a check will be performed to see if it's a valid
tkplay server.
Note that the server being displayed in the topmost
entry is the current server. If this server is not
currently active, then any future communications to
the server (such as filtering, graphing, displaying
index tags) will FAIL. There must be an active server
listed in this field for these communications to work.
- Delete button
- Deletes the server listed in the host/port combobox
from the server list. This doesn't really need to be used
since a new server can be selected.
- Close button
- Close the server dialog window
