v i d P u t S t r

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
