Description
Writes a string of ASCII characters with an attribute at the
specified display page’s current cursor location. The string
overwrites the characters in the affected positions. This
function does not move the cursor. Use vidPutCursor to move
it.
If the application writes to a display page other than the current
one, the written string does not appear until the application sets
that page as the current one with vidSetPage. Strings written to
the current page appear immediately.
Syntax
void far vidPutStr(char far* lpchString,
unsigned char uchAttr,
short sPage);
Parameters
lpchString The string to write. Bell, backspace, carriage
return, and line feed characters are invalid. The
string’s length must be less than or equal to the
number of remaining columns in the current row.
uchAttr The string’s attribute. Values are:
0x07 Normal video
0x70 Reverse video
sPage The display page. For 4-row printers, values are 0-
3. For 8-row printers, values are 0-1.
Return Values
None
