WFCOL()
Returns the position of the leftmost column of the formatted area of a window
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
WFCOL([<lRelative>]) --> nValue
Argument
<lRelative> Designates an optional parameter. If this parameter is
.T., then the function returns the absolute value of the difference
between WCOL() and WFCOL().
Returns
WFCOL() returns the position of the leftmost column of the formatted
area within a window, or the difference between the outer border and the
formatted area of a window.
Description
This function is particularly useful if information in a window must be
saved to a file. There are four functions (WFCOL(), WFLASTCOL(),
WFROW(), WFLASTROW()) which allow you to establish the coordinates of
the formatted area of a window. This information can then be saved for
later use.
In order to avoid complex calculations, you can determine the difference
between the outer border and the formatted area when you use the
optional logical parameter. You can then pass this value when you call
WFORMAT() to restore the old value.
Note
. When used in Window 0, the function returns the value for
WBOARD().
Example
Every WFXXX() output corresponds to the currently selected window.
Please notice that WBOX() corresponds to WFORMAT(1, 1, 1, 1):
CLEAR
WOPEN(10, 10, 20, 70)
WBOX()
? WFROW(), WFROW(.T.) // 11, 1
? WFCOL(), WFCOL(.T.) // 11, 1
? WFLASTROW(), WFLASTROW(.T.) // 19, 1
? WFLASTCOL(), WFLASTCOL(.T.) // 69, 1
INKEY(0)
WCLOSE()
RETURN
