GETMODE()
Uses the current screen mode as a function name
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
GETMODE() --> cFunctionName
Returns
GETMODE() returns a character string that represents the active mode.
The character string corresponds to the CA-Clipper Tools function call
used to switch to that mode.
Description
This function substitutes for a difficult to understand numeric code for
the return value of a function. This character string corresponds to
the function call used to switch to the current mode. The returned
value can be held in a variable, and this function can be called later
using the compile and run operator.
Note
Important! You must declare all function calls for setting a mode
which could occur as a return value from this function as EXTERNAL.
Example
Notice the mode and reset it later:
cVar := GETMODE() // Save current mode
? cVar // For example "CGA80(.T.)"
CGA40(.T.) // Select other mode
? &(cVar) // Reset old mode.
