SETTEXTCURSOR
Graphics Function: Sets the height and width of the text cursor (the caret) for the window in focus. This routine is only available for Windows.
Module
USE IFQWIN
result = SETTEXTCURSOR (newcursor)
newcursor |
(Input) INTEGER(2). The leftmost 8 bits specify the width of the cursor, and the rightmost 8 bits specify the height of the cursor. These dimensions can range from 1 to 8, and represent a fraction of the current character cell size. For example:
If either of these dimensions is outside the range 1 to 8, it is forced to 8. |
Results
The result type is INTEGER(2); it is the previous text cursor value in the same format as newcursor.
After calling SETTEXTCURSOR, you must call DISPLAYCURSOR($GCURSORON) to actually see the cursor.
Example
use IFQWIN
integer(2) oldcur
integer(2) istat
type(rccoord) rc
open(10,file='user')
istat = displaycursor($GCURSORON)
write(10,*) 'Text cursor is now character cell size, the default.'
read(10,*)
write(10,*) 'Setting text cursor to wide and low.'
oldcur = settextcursor(Z'0801')
istat = displaycursor($GCURSORON)
read(10,*)
write(10,*) 'Setting text cursor to high and narrow.'
oldcur = settextcursor(Z'0108')
istat = displaycursor($GCURSORON)
read(10,*)
write(10,*) 'Setting text cursor to a dot.'
oldcur = settextcursor(Z'0101')
istat = displaycursor($GCURSORON)
read(10,*)
end
