Escape key function on Devices

[shaun Knight]

Would it be possible to have an escape key sequence/password on devices .To enable the user/Operator to get back to then desktop.. When developing apps this would be a good feature to have.

Hi Shaun,

Can you elaborate on a use case of this as there may be a way to do what you are asking?

 

[shaun Knight]

Hi.. Yes when doing developing work on a device or when the device is with the customer we sometimes need to view or change settings within the device
having an escape procedure without the need to connect to pc and would be very useful

regards

Shaun

Can you not just exit TracerPlus on the device?

Perhaps he is using the fullscreen mode with the hide menubar. This would remove most ways to exit TracerPlus. In this situation it may be helpful to have an escape passcode of some sort.

What I have done in the past in the case of the file menu being hidden is to add a new session for the sole purpose of exiting the app. Once you enter the this session you can enter a passcode that gets looked up/validated and if it passes will allow you to exit. If it fails it will prevent the exit from happening.
