_gtSetBlink()
Toggle asterisk (*) interpretation in color strings between blinking and
background intensity
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
C Prototype
#include "gt.api"
ERRCODE _gtSetBlink(
BOOL bBlink
)
Arguments
bBlink toggles the meaning of the asterisk (*) character in a color
string. Specifying TRUE causes the asterisk to mean blinking and FALSE
causes it to mean high intensity background. The default is TRUE.
Returns
_gtSetBlink() returns zero if successful. Any other value indicates an
error.
Description
_gtSetBlink() toggles the blinking/background intensity attribute. When
you call _gtSetBlink() with bBlink equal to TRUE, you can make
characters written to the screen blink by including an asterisk (*) in
the color string passed to _gtSetColorStr(). When you call
_gtSetBlink() with bBlink equal to FALSE, the asterisk (*) causes the
background color to be intensified instead. Thus, blinking and
background intensity attributes are not available at the same time.
Note: This function is meaningful only on IBM PC or compatible
computers with CGA, EGA, or VGA display hardware.
Examples
. This example enables high intensity backgrounds:
#include "gt.api"
.
.
.
_gtSetBlink( FALSE )
.
.
.
Files Library is CLIPPER.LIB, header file is Gt.api.
