| LOCATE Statement Details |
|
| Syntax |
| LOCATE [row][,[column][,[cursor][,[start,stop]]]] |
| |
| Argument Description |
| row The number of a row on the screen; row is a numeric |
| expression returning an integer. If row is not specified, |
| then the line (row) does not change. |
| column The number of a column on the screen; column is a numeric |
| expression returning an integer. If column is not |
| specified, then the column location does not change. |
| cursor A Boolean value indicating whether the cursor is visible |
| or not. A value of 0 (zero) indicates cursor off; a value |
| of 1 indicates cursor on. |
| start The starting scan line of cursor on the screen. It must |
| be a numeric expression returning an integer. |
| stop The ending scan line of cursor on the screen. It must be |
| a numeric expression returning an integer. |
| |
| You may omit any argument from the statement. When you omit the row |
| or column, LOCATE leaves the cursor at the row or column where it was |
| moved by a previous LOCATE or a previous input or output statement, |
| whichever occurred most recently. When you omit other arguments, |
| QuickBASIC assumes the previous value for the argument. |
| |
| Note that the start and stop lines are the CRT scan lines that specify |
| which pixels on the screen are lit. A wider range between the start |
| and stop lines produces a taller cursor, such as one that occupies an |
| entire character block. When start is less than stop, LOCATE produces |
| a two-part cursor. If the start line is given, stop must also be |
| specified. |
| |
| The last line on the screen is reserved for the soft-key display and |
| is not accessible to the cursor unless the soft-key display is off |
| (KEY OFF) and LOCATE is used with PRINT to write on the line. |
