Example
This example creates two actions, adds actionIDs to those actions, and adds them to an action sequence. Then it adds the action sequence to to a hotspot.
'This example creates a hotspot on an item in an option list (the "mtest3" option).
'    1. mtest1   - Greeting
'    2. mtest2   - Test2
'    3. mtest3   - Selective Erase
'    4. mtest4   - Save\Restore cursor and attributes
'    5. mtest5   - Demo
'enter your choice:
 
'When clicked, the hotspot enters "3" on the command line to select that option. It also saves the hotspot
'in a new hotspot file and applies it to the session.'
Sub AddAHotspot()
 
    'Create a new action sequence
    Dim myActionSeq As New InputMapActionSequence
    
    'Add an action to send menu item "3" and add the action to the action sequence
    Dim myAction As New InputMapAction
    myAction.ActionId = InputMapActionID_SendHostTextAction
    myAction.AddParameter "3" & Chr(13)
    myActionSeq.Add myAction
    
 
    'Add an action to send the Enter control key and add this action to the action sequence
    Dim myAction2 As New InputMapAction
    myAction2.ActionId = InputMapActionID_SendHostKeyAction
    myAction2.AddParameterAsInteger ControlKeyCode_Enter
    myActionSeq.Add myAction2
 
    
    'Add a new hotspot that is activated by the 'mtest4' string on the screen menu item 4
    Dim myHotSpot As New Hotspot
    myHotSpot.text = "mtest3"
 
    'Add a tooltip for the hotspot
    myHotSpot.Tooltip = "Go to Selective Erase"
         
    'Link the action sequence to the hotspot
    Set myHotSpot.ActionSequence = myActionSeq
 
    'Add the new hotspot to the currently selected hotspots
    ThisScreen.ScreenHotSpots.AddHotspot myHotSpot
     
    
    'Make sure hotspots are enabled
    ThisScreen.ScreenHotSpots.ApplyCurrentHotspots
    
    'At this point you can use the new hotspot in the session -- it is "in memory" only at this point
    
    'To permanently assign the hotspot, you need to save the hotspot map.
    'You can save the current hotpot map or create a new map hotspots map file.
    
    'Save the current map
    ThisScreen.ScreenHotSpots.Save
    
    'If you create a new hotspots map file, you'll need to apply the new map to the session
    
    'Save the current hotspots in a new hotspots map file
    'Dim newHotspotsMap As String
    'newHotspotsMap = Environ("USERPROFILE") & "\Documents\micro focus\reflection\Hotspots Maps\MyCustomHotspotsMap.xhs"
    'ThisScreen.ScreenHotSpots.SaveAs (newHotspotsMap)
    
    'Assign the new hotspot map to the session
    'ThisScreen.ScreenHotSpots.HotspotsMap = newHotspotsMap
