SETBLINK() Toggle asterisk (*) interpretation in the SETCOLOR() string between blinking and background intensity ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Syntax SETBLINK([<lToggle>]) --> lCurrentSetting Arguments <lToggle> changes the meaning of the asterisk (*) character when it is encountered in a SETCOLOR() string. Specifying true (.T.) sets character blinking on, and false (.F.) sets background intensity. The default is true (.T.). Returns SETBLINK() returns the current setting as a logical value. Description SETBLINK() is an environment function that toggles the blinking/background intensity attribute and reports the current state of SETBLINK(). When SETBLINK() is on, characters written to the screen can be made to blink by including an asterisk (*) in a color string passed to SETCOLOR(). When SETBLINK() is off, the asterisk (*) causes the background color to be intensified instead. Thus, blinking and background intensity attributes are not available at the same time. Note: This function is meaningful only on the IBM PC or compatible computers with CGA, EGA, or VGA display hardware. Examples . This example saves the current SETBLINK() state before passing control to a user-defined function. Upon return, SETBLINK() is restored to its original value: lOldBlink := SETBLINK() MyFunc() SETBLINK(lOldBlink) Files Library is CLIPPER.LIB.
