    PutTextModeOption Enumeration
    In This Topic
    Defines valid options for configuring the PutText mode set by the IbmScreen PutTextMaskProtectedField property. This mode controls how the PutText method handles protected fields when placing a string of characters onto the host screen.
    Syntax
    'Declaration
 

    Public Enum PutTextModeOption 
   Inherits System.Enum
    'Usage
 

    Dim instance As PutTextModeOption
    public enum PutTextModeOption : System.Enum
    Members
    MemberDescription
    LinearStream

    Specifies that the PutText method streams text sequentially into one or more consecutive unprotected fields, skipping over protected fields.

    Remaining text that exceeds the current unprotected field's length extends into the next unprotected field(s), until all the text is placed on the screen.

    Mask

    Specifies that the PutText method masks protected fields when outputting text to the screen.

    The PutText method interprets the text as a host screen image and overlays the text into the current screen starting at the specified screen position. Where the current screen contains an unprotected field, the source string is placed in the field; where the current screen contains a protected field, that portion of the string is skipped. (Text that coincides with protected fields is not placed on the screen.)
