Instance Method Details

#connect {|_self| ... } ⇒ Object

Creates a method to connect to Extra System. This method expects a block in which certain platform specific values can be set. Extra can take the following parameters.

  • session_file - this value is required and should be the filename of the session.

  • visible - determines if the emulator is visible or not. If not set it will default to true.

  • window_state - determines the state of the session window. Valid values are :minimized, :normal, and :maximized. If not set it will default to :normal.

Examples:

Example calling screen object constructor with a block

screen_object = MyScreenObject.new(:extra)
screen_object.connect do |emulator|
  emulator.session_file = 'path_to_session_file'
  emulator.visible = true
  emulator.window_state = :maximized
end

Yields:

  • (_self)
