December 09, 2002 Replacing Borland C++ window() function | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
All: I am trying to port a DOS Borland C++ program that uses the text-mode display function "window()". I looked at disp.h in the Mars documentation, but it does not offer an equivalent function. Borland's "window()" function creates a sub-region on the screen (top,left,bottom,right) where all console text output is directed, and which scrolls properly, etc., leaving the rest of the screen untouched. You can use it as the basis of a really stupid multi-window system, which, of course, the code I have does. Does anyone have a suggestion for replacing this, short of rewriting it all? Thank you!

Posted in reply to Adriano Baglioni | Maybe you want to take a look at http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/4505/dirio.zip, it is a library that emules Borland's conio but with faster responses. Since the source is available, I thought it would not be very hard to port it to DMC.

I will download it and see if I can get it to work. If so, I will post any changes here, and I will send them back to the author. Adriano Baglioni Principal Software Design Engineer Veeder-Root Co. |

Posted in reply to Adriano Baglioni | The author of this is me. I have done it some years ago, and I am not sure until which level it is compatible with DMC, but I hope that porting to DOS32 using it should not be a pain. Altought I have not too much spare time, I can help you in all concrete problems you have.
