WSTEP()
Determines the step width of interactive window movement
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
WSTEP(<nVertical>,<nHorizontal>) --> nResult
Arguments
<nVertical> Designates the number of rows the window steps when
moved interactively.
<nHorizontal> Designates the number of columns the window steps
when moved interactively.
Returns
If an error occurs, WSTEP() returns -1. If no errors occur, it returns
0.
Description
WSTEP() allows you to set the number of steps a window moves with each
key stroke.
Exact Positioning
Normally, in the case of a step size greater than (1,1), you would not
be able to select every screen position. However, unique interactive
mode behavior lets you select every screen position anyway! Pressing
two opposing arrow keys, one immediately after the other, causes a step
size of 1 to become effective for that axis. This step size allows
precise positioning of the window!
Note
. This function only operates when all windows are closed. The
preset values are 2 rows for the vertical steps and 5 columns for the
horizontal steps. The maximum values are 6 rows for the vertical
steps and 20 rows for the horizontal steps. If a step value exceeds
the maximum value, then the step value is set to the maximum correct
value.
Example
When you use the cursor keys, the selected window is moved 1 row
vertically and 3 rows horizontally:
WSTEP(1, 3)
