CGA80()
Switches to 80-column mode (color or monochrome)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
CGA80([<lMonochromeMode>]) --> lSwitch
Argument
<lMonochromeMode> Designates the 40.character mode. If this
parameter is .T., the function switches to the monochrome CGA
80-character mode. If this parameter is .F., the function switches to
the 80-character color mode. The default value is .F..
Returns
CGA80() returns .T. when the screen adapter you use permits a switch.
Description
This function can be used with any screen adapter that has CGA emulation
capability. You can switch to CGA 80-character mode, color or
monochrome. The function ISCOLOR() also returns .T. in the monochrome
mode because this option activates a "color summing" of the screen
adapter and does not switch to the monochrome mode for a hercules
adapter or a monochrome text adapter.
Notes
Important! This function cannot be implemented when windows are
open.
. A call with .T. corresponds to BIOS mode 2. A call with .F.
corresponds to BIOS mode 3.
Examples
. Switch to 80-character mode (color):
? CGA80() // .T., if successful
. Switch to 80-character mode (monochrome):
? CGA80(.T.) // .T., if successful
