Cursor

int kbdcrt_cursor( int col, int line, int type );

Where:

col - alpha character column number

line - alpha character row number

type - cursor type 0=Normal, 1=Insert, 2=Off

Description

This routine erases the current cursor and places a new cursor at the specified character location. The values of col and line are the same as specified by PRINT TABXY(col,line). The return value is either a zero for no errors or an HTBasic error code.

Any action generated by HTBasic which affects the cursor will move the cursor back to its normal location. You may wish to trap all keyboard input with ON KBD while using this routine.

Example

int error;

error = kbdcrt_cursor( 1, 10, 0 );
