vPAR Transponder - IP List Editor

In Version 2.0, the Transponder has a new feature. The program now has the ability to store 10 of your commonly used IP addresses for quick retrieval. During testing, for example, I frequently started the program and had to enter 127.0.0.1 for tests within the local machine, or an address associated with another machine on my network at home. With the new IP editor, these could be stored so a couple of mouse clicks fill in the IP I want to use.

IP Editor The IP List Editor works very similarly to the Approach Editor. The new button, just to the right of the IDENT box, opens it up. Notice in the image that when the IP List Editor function is initiated, the Open Approach Editor button is greyed out, meaning you can't access its functionality. Closing the IP List Editor, either by clicking on the same button used to open it or the button on the bottom right, will restore the form's original size and the functionality of the Open Approach Editor button.

The IP Address boxes next to the Connect/Disconnect buttons were changed to include a dropdown list. Now you can store your commonly used IP addresses here. Clicking on the "down arrow" on the right-hand side of the box will open up the dropdown list, just as with any Windows "combobox". You can then select an entry from the list and that entry will appear in the box and be ready for use.

Adding and removing IP addresses from these boxes is done by opening the IP List Editor as described above. To add an IP, enter the IP in the box at the top right, then click the ADD button. The new IP address will jump into the listbox immediately to the left. To remove an IP entry, click on the IP in the listbox so that it becomes highlighted, and then click the REMOVE SELECTED button. The entry will disappear from the listbox. The IP List is saved as soon as you close the IP List Editor feature. That's all there is to it.
