Example
This sample navigates to the "Edit - Entry Panel" screen on the Reflection IBM3270 demo and writes some text on the last screen. It waits for the cursor to appear anywhere on the screen before entering any commands on that screen. To run this sample, create a 3270 session and set the Host name / IP address to demo:ibm3270.sim. Then paste this code into a VBA module and then run the macro from the login screen. 
Sub NavigateWithWaitforCursor2()
    'Declare terminal, screen, and rcode variables:
    Dim terminal As Attachmate_Reflection_Objects_Emulation_IbmHosts.IbmTerminal
    Dim screen As Attachmate_Reflection_Objects_Emulation_IbmHosts.IbmScreen
    Dim topRow As Integer, topCol As Integer, bottomRow As Integer, bottomCol As Integer
    Dim rcode As ReturnCode
 
    'Set the parameters for the screen area to define the whole screen
    topRow = 1
    topCol = 1
    bottomRow = ThisIbmScreen.rows
    bottomCol = ThisIbmScreen.columns
 
    Set terminal = ThisIbmTerminal
  
    'Get a handle to the Screen object and navigate to the screen we
    'want to enter the data on
    Set screen = terminal.screen
  
    'Navigate to the screen
    rcode = screen.SendControlKey(ControlKeyCode_Transmit)
    
    rcode = screen.WaitForCursor2(2000, topRow, topCol, bottomRow, bottomCol)
    rcode = screen.SendKeys("ISPF")
    rcode = screen.SendControlKey(ControlKeyCode_Transmit)
  
    rcode = screen.WaitForCursor2(2000, topRow, topCol, bottomRow, bottomCol)
    rcode = screen.SendKeys("2")
    rcode = screen.SendControlKey(ControlKeyCode_Transmit)
  
    rcode = screen.WaitForCursor2(2000, topRow, topCol, bottomRow, bottomCol)
       
    'Put some text into a field on the last screen
    rcode = screen.PutText2("Finished", 5, 18)
   
End Sub
