RESTSCREEN()
Display a saved screen region to a specified location
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
RESTSCREEN([<nTop>], [<nLeft>],
[<nBottom>], [<nRight>], <cScreen>) --> NIL
Arguments
<nTop>, <nLeft>, <nBottom>, and <nRight> define the
coordinates of the screen information contained in <cScreen>. If
<cScreen> was saved without coordinates to preserve the entire screen,
no screen coordinates are necessary with RESTSCREEN().
<cScreen> is a character string containing the saved screen region.
Returns
RESTSCREEN() always returns NIL.
Description
RESTSCREEN() is a screen function that redisplays a screen region saved
with SAVESCREEN(). The target screen location may be the same as or
different from the original location when the screen region was saved.
If you specify a new screen location, the new screen region must be the
same size or you will get ambiguous results. To use RESTSCREEN() to
restore screen regions saved with SAVE SCREEN, specify the region
coordinates as 0, 0, MAXROW(), MAXCOL().
Warning! SAVE SCREEN, RESTORE SCREEN, SAVESCREEN(), and
RESTSCREEN() are supported when using the default (IBM PC memory mapped)
screen driver. Other screen drivers may not support saving and
restoring screens.
Examples
. This example demonstrates RESTSCREEN() as part of a general
purpose pop-up menu function, PopMenu():
? PopMenu({1, 1, 3, 10, {"ItemOne", "ItemTwo"}, ;
"BG+/B"})
FUNCTION PopMenu( aList )
LOCAL cScreen, nChoice, cOldColor := ;
SETCOLOR(aList[6])
cScreen := SAVESCREEN(aList[1], aList[2],;
aList[3], aList[4])
@ aList[1], aList[2], TO aList[3], aList[4] DOUBLE
nChoice := ACHOICE(++aList[1], ++aList[2],;
--aList[3], --aList[4], aList[5])
SETCOLOR(cOldColor)
RESTSCREEN(--aList[1], --aList[2], ++aList[3],;
++aList[4], cScreen)
RETURN nChoice
