A86: Re: Printing text to the display




there is a bit like appTextScroll or something that you should reset.
WARNING! If you put anything past the bottom of the screen strange things
will happen.  take care and always set this bit back to normal before
exiting your progam!

Subject: A86: Printing text to the display


|
|I'm sure that I've read this somewhere recently, but cannot find it
|anywhere:  How do I turn off the auto-scrolling?  All I want to be
|able to do is print in bottom-right-hand corner!
|
|Am I right in thinking that if I want the flashing cursor, I need to
|call _getkey as opposed to Get_Key?
|
|Also, is it possible to achieve things like the flashing cursor using
|the smaller-sized font?
|
|And why oh why are the codes returned for up, down, left & right
|different for Get_Key and _getkey?
|
|My other wish is to be able to refresh the display without clearing it
|first (as this creates an unsightly flash).  Is there a better method
|to do this than printing spaces where I want previous text removed?
|
|Thanks, AJD
