MAXCOL()
Extends the CA-Clipper MAXCOL() function
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
MAXCOL([<lMode>]) --> nMaxColumn
Argument
<lMode> When .F. is passed, or when no parameter is specified, the
function returns the highest column number of the selected window. When
.T. is passed, it returns the highest column number for the entire
screen. The default value (.F.) returns the highest column number for
the selected window.
Returns
MAXCOL() returns the highest column number available within a window or
within the physical screen.
Description
MAXCOL() is also a CA-Clipper function. Without parameters, or when
specifying .F., MAXCOL() always returns a value for the selected window.
In the absence of CA-Clipper Tools, this value is always Window 0, which
is exactly the same size as the entire screen. However, if the extended
driver CTUS.LIB and the CA-Clipper Tools window functions are
implemented, this value can change. If you want the highest column for
the entire screen, regardless of the window selected, you can pass .T.
for the optional <lMode> parameter.
Note
. The explanation of this function was taken from the Video
Functions chapter and placed in the Extended Driver chapter. Now all
CA-Clipper Tools functions that replace and/or extend CA-Clipper
functions when CTUS.LIB is linked in are in the same chapter. The
extensions to the CA-Clipper versions of these functions are only of
interest when used in conjunction with the other extended driver
functions and their accompanying windows.
Example
Display the highest column number:
WOPEN(10, 10, 20, 70) // Open a window
? MAXCOL() // Relates to a window
? MAXCOL(.T.) // Back to the physical screen
