From this dialog box, you can change the action or other characteristics associated with a hotspot.

Hotspot Options

Modify the selected hotspot using the following options:

Hotspot text

Type a text string, up to 80 characters, to identify the hotspot. InfoConnect creates a hotspot wherever this text string is encountered in your host application.

Select Action

Select an action to associate with the specified hotspot text.

Tooltip

Type the text to display when the mouse cursor is over the hotspot.

Select to make the hotspot you are modifying case sensitive.

Only valid at row

If selected, the hotspot will appear only if the text is in the specified row.

Only valid at column

If selected, the hotspot will appear only if the text is in the specified column.

Auto invoke when text appears on display

Select to cause the hotspot to be invoked as soon as it appears on the screen.

Text is preceded by a delimiter

Select to match the text only if the text is preceded by a delimiter specified under Hotspot Delimiter. For example, if you define the hotspot "host" and select this option, the word "unixhost" wouldn't be a hotspot.

Text is followed by a delimiter

Select to match the text only if the text is followed by a delimiter specified under Hotspot Delimiter. For example, if you define the hotspot "host" and select this option, the word "hostfile" wouldn't be a hotspot.

Match until a delimiter

Select to define the end of the hotspot as the delimiter(s) specified under Hotspot Delimiter.
