====== VioWrtCharStr ======
 
This call writes a character string to the display.

===== Syntax =====
<code c>
 VioWrtCharStr (CharStr, Length, Row, Column, VioHandle) 
</code>
===== Parameters =====

  * CharStr ([[PCH]]) - input : Address of the character string to be written.
  * Length ([[USHORT]]) - input : Length, in bytes, of the character string.
  * Row ([[USHORT]]) - input : Starting cursor row.
  * Column ([[USHORT]]) - input : Starting cursor column.
  * VioHandle ([[HVIO]]) - input : This must be zero unless the caller is a Presentation Manager application, in which case it must be the value returned by VioGetPs.

===== Return Code =====

rc ([[USHORT]]) - return

Return code descriptions are:

  * 0          NO_ERROR 
  * 355        ERROR_VIO_MODE 
  * 358        ERROR_VIO_ROW 
  * 359        ERROR_VIO_COL 
  * 436        ERROR_VIO_INVALID_HANDLE 
  * 465        ERROR_VIO_DETACHED

===== Remarks =====

If a string write gets to the end of the line and is not complete, the string write continues at the beginning of the next line. If the write gets to the end of the screen, the write terminates.

==== PM Considerations ====

Write a character string to the Advanced VIO presentation space. The caller must specify the starting location on the presentation space where the string is to be written. 

===== Bindings =====

==== C Binding====
<code c>
#define INCL_VIO

USHORT  rc = VioWrtCharStr(CharStr, Length, Row, Column, VioHandle);

PCH              CharStr;       /* String to be written */
USHORT           Length;        /* Length of character string */
USHORT           Row;           /* Starting row position for output */
USHORT           Column;        /* Starting column position for output */
HVIO             VioHandle;     /* Video handle */

USHORT           rc;            /* return code */
