CGA40()
Switches to 40-column mode (color or monochrome)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
CGA40([<lMonochromeMode>]) --> lSwitch
Argument
<lMonochromeMode> Designates the 40.character mode. If this
parameter is .T., the function switches to the monochrome CGA
40-character mode. If this parameter is.F., the function switches to
the 40-character color mode. The default value is .F..
Returns
CGA40() returns .T. if 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 40-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.
. Modes set through this function can also be combined with
other line counts, i.e. EGA43().
. A call with .T. corresponds to BIOS mode 0. A call with .F.
corresponds to BIOS mode 1.
Examples
. Switch to 40-character mode (color):
? CGA40() // .T., if successful
. Switch to 40-character mode (monochrome):
? CGA40(.T.) // .T., if successful
