Viewer Settings can be defined at different levels - all users, the current user, or database. Settings at the lowest level take precedence. If you define viewer settings for all users and an individual database, when accessing that specific database the database settings will be used (not the all user settings). Viewer settings for all databases are stored in the local user's registry settings and only apply to the local user. Viewer settings that are applied to a specific database are stored in the .ini file of the database and will impact all users that access that database. |

Using CPL Viewer
The CPL (Concordance Programming Language) viewer option is intended for programmers and systems integrators who have knowledge of programming languages and technical expertise. Concordance can execute a CPL program when clicking the View Image button in the Browse, Edit, or Table view, or right-clicking highlighted text and clicking View image. The CPL program can then pass the image key to another program through DDE or as a startup parameter.
The CPL program you select needs to take the appropriate action to bring up the viewer and the proper image. The CPL program should check the clipboard by using the paste() function. If nothing is in the clipboard, your program should use the data in the image-key field. You need to check the clipboard because the end user can highlight text in the Edit or Browse view and send it to your program with the right mouse button. Your program must not perform any screen displays. For information about DDE functions that may be useful to your program, see Developing with Concordance.
