|    detection of character-amount that fits     |
|    08 Dec 04 16:08:04    |
      From: LiveSucks@hotmail.com              Hello!              When using the CRT-unit of BP7 for creating real-mode DOS-       applications, there are the two variables WindMin and       WindMax. Lo(WindMax)-Lo(WindMin)+1 gives the amount of       characters which fit into one line of the screen/window.              Is it possible to detect the amount of characters which fit       into one line of the screen without using the CRT-unit (and       also without writing character by character to the screen       until the x-coordinate switches back to 1 again)?              I already searched SWAC, Prof. Timo Salmi's FAQ and google.       What other resources would you recommend?              Sincerely              Sam              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
