xcall T_WNDWRT(channel, entry_name, window_id, control[, lines_written])
Arguments
channel
The channel of the window library. (n)
entry_name
The identifier (name) of the text entry in the library (a maximum of 15 characters). (a)
window_id
The ID of the text window to process. (n)
control
One of the following processing controls on entry: D_CREATE to create a new entry and generate an error if it already exists or D_REPLACE to create a new entry and replace any existing entry. (n)
lines_written
(optional) The number of lines written. (n)
Discussion
T_WNDWRT stores the data within a text window as a text entry in a window library. This subroutine obtains data using one or more calls to T_GETLIN and writes that data out to the library by calling T_TXTWRT.
Upon exit, control is returned with a value of zero if the operation is completed successfully, or D_EXISTS if control was set to D_CREATE on entry and the text entry already exists. D_EXISTS is a negative number, therefore you can test for an error condition by checking whether control is less than zero.
Examples
This example takes the text from txtid, makes it into a text entry, and stores it as “menuhlp” in the window library opened on libchn.
ctrl = D_CREATE xcall t_wndwrt(libchn, "menuhlp", txtid, ctrl, numlines)
