SMG$PUT_LINE_WIDE

The Write Double-Width Line routine writes a line of double-width text to a virtual display.

Format

SMG$PUT_LINE_WIDE display-id ,text [,line-advance] [,rendition-set] [,rendition-complement] [,flags] [,character-set]


RETURNS


OpenVMS usage cond_value
type longword (unsigned)
access write only
mechanism by value


Arguments

display-id


OpenVMS usage identifier
type longword (unsigned)
access read only
mechanism by reference

Specifies the virtual display affected. The display-id argument is the address of an unsigned longword that contains the display identifier.

Display-id is returned by SMG$CREATE_VIRTUAL_DISPLAY.

text


OpenVMS usage char_string
type character string
access read only
mechanism by descriptor

Characters to be written to the virtual display. The text argument is the address of a descriptor pointing to the text.

line-advance


OpenVMS usage longword_signed
type longword (signed)
access read only
mechanism by reference

Specifies the number of lines to advance after output. The line-advance argument is the address of a signed longword integer that contains the number of lines to advance.

rendition-set


OpenVMS usage mask_longword
type longword (unsigned)
access read only
mechanism by reference

Attribute specifier. The optional rendition-set argument is the address of a longword bit mask in which each attribute set causes the corresponding attribute to be set in the display. The following attributes can be specified using the rendition-set argument:
SMG$M_BLINK Displays blinking characters.
SMG$M_BOLD Displays characters in higher-than-normal intensity.
SMG$M_REVERSE Displays characters in reverse video; that is, using the opposite of the default rendition of the virtual display.
SMG$M_UNDERLINE Displays underlined characters.
SMG$M_INVISIBLE Specifies invisible characters; that is, the characters exist in the virtual display but do not appear on the pasteboard.
SMG$M_USER1 through
SMG$M_USER8
Displays user-defined attributes.

The display-id argument must be specified when you use the rendition-set argument.

rendition-complement


OpenVMS usage mask_longword
type longword (unsigned)
access read only
mechanism by reference

Attribute complement specifier. The optional rendition-complement argument is the address of a longword bit mask in which each attribute set causes the corresponding attribute to be complemented in the display. All attributes that can be specified with the rendition-set argument can be complemented with the rendition-complement argument. The display-id argument must be specified when you use the rendition-complement argument.

The optional arguments rendition-set and rendition-complement let the user control the attributes of the virtual display. The rendition-set argument sets certain virtual display attributes, while rendition-complement complements these attributes. If the same bit is specified in both the rendition-set and rendition-complement parameters, rendition-set is evaluated first, followed by rendition-complement. By using these two parameters together, the user can control each virtual display attribute in a single procedure call. On a single-attribute basis, the user can cause the following transformations:

Set Complement Action
0 0 Attribute set to default
1 0 Attribute on
0 1 Attribute set to complement of default setting
1 1 Attribute off

flags


OpenVMS usage mask_longword
type longword (unsigned)
access read only
mechanism by reference

Optional bit mask that specifies the action to take if the text does not fit on the line. The flags argument is the address of an unsigned longword that contains the flag. Flags accepts the following values:
0 Does not wrap (the default).
SMG$M_WRAP_CHAR Wraps at the last character on the line.
SMG$M_WRAP_WORD Wraps at the last space on the line.

character-set


OpenVMS usage longword_unsigned
type longword (unsigned)
access read only
mechanism by reference

Specifies the character set of the text in the text. The character-set argument is the address of an unsigned longword that contains the character set code. If this argument is omitted, the default character set will be the character set set up by SMG$CREATE_VIRTUAL_DISPLAY or by SMG$CHANGE_VIRTUAL_DISPLAY. Valid values are as follows.
Value Character Set
SMG$C_ASCII ASCII
SMG$C_SPEC_GRAPHICS DEC Special Graphics
SMG$C_HANZI DEC Hanzi

1One of DEC supplemental character set and Latin-1 character set.


Description

SMG$PUT_LINE_WIDE writes lines of double-width text to the virtual display. SMG$PUT_LINE_WIDE writes out the entire line, starting at the current virtual cursor position. If the caller's text does not span the entire line, the line is filled with blanks.

If the flags argument specifies wrapping, lines are scrolled line-advance times to make room for the overflow characters in the "next" line. If flags does not specify wrapping, excess characters are discarded.

Following a call to SMG$PUT_LINE_WIDE, the virtual cursor position is set to column 1 of the next line where output should occur. The next line where output should occur is determined by the line-advance argument; line-advance defaults to 1 so that subsequent calls to SMG$PUT_LINE_WIDE will not cause overprinting.

Other routines that you can use to write text to a virtual display are SMG$PUT_LINE and SMG$PUT_LINE_HIGHWIDE.

In the case that the Chinese language character set is used, if the current virtual cursor position is on the right portion of a Chinese character, the left portion of the character will become an undefined character. Also, if the discard begins on the right portion of a Chinese character, the left portion of the character will become an undefined character.

Description

The SMG$PUT_STATUS_LINE routine outputs a line of text to the terminal's hardware status line. Some terminals have a hardware status line at the bottom (25th line) of the screen. If this status line has been set as "host writable", you can use this routine to output a line of text to the status line. (If the hardware status line is not available, the error SMG$_OPNOTSUP is returned.) The text is output in reverse video.

Condition Values Returned

SS$_NORMAL Normal successful completion.
SMG$_WRONUMARG Wrong number of arguments.
SMG$_INVPAS_ID Invalid pasteboard-id.
LIB$_INVARG Invalid argument.
SMG$_OPNOTSUP No hardware status line available.

SMG$READ_COMPOSED_LINE

The Read Composed Line routine reads a line of input composed of normal keystrokes and equivalence strings.

Format

SMG$READ_COMPOSED_LINE keyboard-id [,key-table-id] ,resultant-string [,prompt-string] [,resultant-length] [,display-id] [,flags] [,initial-string] [,timeout] [,rendition-set] [,rendition-complement] [,word-terminator-code] [,character-set]


RETURNS


OpenVMS usage cond_value
type longword (unsigned)
access write only
mechanism by value


Arguments

keyboard-id


OpenVMS usage identifier
type longword (unsigned)
access read only
mechanism by reference

Specifies the virtual keyboard from which input is to be read. The keyboard-id argument is the address of an unsigned longword that contains the keyboard identifier.

Keyboard-id is returned by SMG$CREATE_VIRTUAL_KEYBOARD.

key-table-id


OpenVMS usage identifier
type longword (unsigned)
access read only
mechanism by reference

Specifies the key table to be used for translating keystrokes. The key-table-id argument is the address of an unsigned longword that contains the key table identifier.

Key-table-id is returned by SMG$CREATE_KEY_TABLE.

resultant-string


OpenVMS usage char_string
type character string
access write only
mechanism by descriptor

String into which SMG$READ_COMPOSED_LINE writes the complete composed line. The resultant-string argument is the address of a descriptor pointing to the string in which the composed line is written.

prompt-string


OpenVMS usage char_string
type character string
access read only
mechanism by descriptor

String used to prompt for the read operation. The prompt-string argument is the address of a descriptor pointing to the prompt string.

resultant-length


OpenVMS usage word_unsigned
type word (unsigned)
access write only
mechanism by reference

Receives the number of bytes read or the maximum length of resultant-string, whichever is less. The resultant-length argument is the address of an unsigned word into which SMG$READ_COMPOSED_LINE writes the number of bytes read.

display-id


OpenVMS usage identifier
type longword (unsigned)
access read only
mechanism by reference

Display identifier. The display-id argument is the address of an unsigned longword that contains the display identifier. This argument is optional only if you are not using the Screen Management Facility's output routines.

If you are using the Screen Management Facility input and output routines, this argument specifies the virtual display in which the input is to occur. The virtual display specified must be pasted to the same pasteboard as specified by keyboard-id and must not be occluded. You cannot accept input from an occluded area of the virtual display.

In the case of multiple virtual displays, each virtual display has an associated virtual cursor position. At the same time, there is a single physical cursor position corresponding to the current location of the physical cursor. If the display-id argument is specified, the read begins at the current virtual cursor position in the specified virtual display. If the display identifier is omitted, the read begins in the current physical cursor position. Note that the length of the prompt-string plus the key entered is limited to the number of visible columns in the display.

Note

This virtual display must be pasted in column 1 and may not have any other virtual displays to its right. This restriction is necessary because otherwise any occurrence of Ctrl/R or Ctrl/U would blank out the entire line, including any output pasted to the right.

flags


OpenVMS usage mask_longword
type longword (unsigned)
access read only
mechanism by reference

Optional bit mask that specifies enabled keys. The flags argument is the address of an unsigned longword that contains the flag. Valid values for flags are as follows:
0 Line editing is enabled and function keys (F6 to F14) cannot be used.
SMG$M_FUNC_KEYS Function keys (F6 to F14) may be used and line editing is disabled.
SMG$M_NOKEEP Lines entered in the recall buffer are not saved.
SMG$M_NORECALL Line recall is disabled for this I/O only.

Because the VMS terminal driver uses the F6 through F14 function keys for line editing on some terminals, you cannot have function keys and line editing enabled at the same time.

initial-string


OpenVMS usage char_string
type character string
access read only
mechanism by descriptor

Optional string that contains the initial characters of the field. The initial-string argument is the address of a descriptor pointing to the string. The string is written to the display in the input area, as if it had been entered from the keyboard. It may be edited in the usual way (provided that function-keys-flag is not set).

timeout


OpenVMS usage longword_signed
type longword (signed)
access read only
mechanism by reference

Optional timeout count. The timeout argument is the address of a signed longword containing the timeout count. If the timeout argument is specified, all characters entered before the timeout are returned in the buffer. If the timeout argument is omitted, characters are returned in the buffer until a terminator is encountered.

rendition-set


OpenVMS usage mask_longword
type longword (unsigned)
access read only
mechanism by reference

Attribute specifier. The optional rendition-set argument is the address of a longword bit mask in which each attribute set causes the corresponding attribute to be set in the display. The following attributes can be specified using the rendition-set argument:
SMG$M_BLINK Displays blinking characters.
SMG$M_BOLD Displays characters in higher-than-normal intensity.
SMG$M_REVERSE Displays characters in reverse video; that is, using the opposite of the default rendition of the virtual display.
SMG$M_UNDERLINE Displays underlined characters.
SMG$M_INVISIBLE Specifies invisible characters; that is, the characters exist in the virtual display but do not appear on the pasteboard.
SMG$M_USER1 through
SMG$M_USER8
Displays user-defined attributes.
