ESL Release Notes

The OSUTIL include has numerous examples of calls to the Operating System, although only the following additional entry points would normally be accessed directly from an ESL application:

OS_QueryMilliseconds

This function returns the number of milliseconds since the Computer was started. The accuracy of the returned value is dependent on the hardware in use.

OS_ObjectFromHandle

Returns the name of an ESL object given the Windows Handle. A blank string will be returned if the handle is not associated with an object belonging to the current ESL application.

OS_MLEF_ReadOnly

Set an Entry Field to Read-Only or Editable.

OS_GetTextWidth

Determine the width in dialog units of a specified piece of text if it was displayed in the defined control.
