Using Double-Click Actions

InterMapper defines Double-click Actions that it will perform when a device is double-clicked. Many probes have a pre-defined double-click action, but this can be overridden.

To change a double-click action, right-click on the device, and select the proper choice from the sub-menu:

Helper App

Double-clicking will invoke a specified helper application. This helper application runs on the same machine as the InterMapper client. Select the helper application from the current list of helpers.

URL

You may supply a URL (http, ftp, telnet, etc.) and InterMapper will invoke it when the device is double-clicked. Enter a URL to be invoked when the device is double-clicked. You may use the following macros: ${address}, ${port}.

Enter a URL you want to use when the icon double-clicked. The default browser is launched with the specified URL.

Opening an InterMapper map

To open another InterMapper map, use this URL format:

intermapper://Host:Port/MapName

• Host is the address or DNS name of the InterMapper server hosting the map . Use $SAMEHOST$ to get to a map on the same InterMapper server.
• Port is the port for the specified InterMapper server
• MapName is the name of the map, URL-escaped (%20 for a space, %3D for a slash,etc)

Example

The Example.com demonstration submaps have links back to the Example.com parent map that look like this:

intermapper://$SAMEHOST$:8181/Example.com%20National%20Map

Built In

InterMapper can invoke nearly any of the menu commands as a result of a double-click. Select the desired item from the hierarchy of menu items.
