Build terminal emulation capabilities into your application with VT and Telnet controls. Features include screen scraping, advanced graphic fonts, and superior printing capabilities.

Features

• VT control emulates VT52, VT100, VT220 and VT320 terminals, interpreting text and escape sequences to display a screen that can be used interactively (like a regular terminal) or invisibly (to capture reports that can subsequently be “screen-scraped” by your application).
• Telnet control can be used as a real-time data source client, and supports rlogin, rsh and rexec.
• Display options are set using simple properties.
• Supports multibyte encodings to display and print Unicode characters.
• Printing of the display is fully supported, as is the printing of postscript files and auto-print (prints each line as it is received).
• Screen-scraping is achieved by reading the Text property, which returns all the text in the scroll-back buffer as well as the display.
• Graphic characters for box drawing is fully supported.
• Key remapping is easily accomplished with a Keydown event, where key 'substitution' can be used to remap keys.
• Dynamic scroll-back buffer can save hundreds (or thousands) of lines.
• Supports COM+ Component Services.
• Can be used in a multi-threaded environment.
• Can be used in BOTH event driven and scripted (blocking) application designs.
• Includes a royalty-free license.
• Wrapper classes included for convenient integration into Visual C++.
• 100% .NET compatible using .NET COM interop, samples included.

Supported Environments

PowerTCP Emulation for ActiveX can be used in the following development environments:

• .NET Framework
• Visual Basic
• Visual C++
• FoxPro
• PowerBuilder
• Delphi
• C++ Builder
• ASP
• VBScript (wscript, cscript, etc)

.NET Framework
All PowerTCP Emulation for ActiveX components are completely interoperable with the .NET Framework. In fact, 6 VB.NET samples are included demonstrating how this interoperability works and full interoperability instructions are provided in the product documentation.

Visual Basic
Looking to integrate VT Emulation into Visual Basic? PowerTCP Emulation for ActiveX contains 2 full sample projects for Visual Basic, including full-blown Visual Basic VT Emulator.

Visual C++
PowerTCP Emulation for ActiveX includes C++ wrapper classes to make VT Emulation integration into C++ even easier. In addition, 3 full sample projects are included.

Delphi
Just add the PowerTCP components to Component Library and you have taken the first step in using PowerTCP in Delphi!  A Delphi VT Emulator sample is included.

C++ Builder
A C++ Builder VT Emulator Sample is included demonstrating use of the VT component in C++ Builder.

Office 97/2000
PowerTCP Emulation for ActiveX can easily be used in VBA (Visual Basic for Applications). Just drop the components on a form or reference them for dynamic instantion to add powerful VT capabilities to any Office application or Office Macro.

Some uses of Emulation for ActiveX include:

• Web-enable legacy systems by screen-scraping and wrapping text with HTML.    
• Create a custom front-end for Informix or any database system.
• Develop screen-scraping applications that run canned reports.
• Create a remote console for network devices.
• Automate terminal sessions and file transfers.
