This is part of Family API which allow to create dual-os version of program runs under OS/2 and DOS
Note: This is legacy API call. It is recommended to use 32-bit equivalent
This call is issued by the Session Manager when the operator presses PrtSc
.
VioPrtSc (VioHandle)
VioHandle ([[HVIO]]) - input: Reserved word of 0s.
rc (USHORT) - return
Return code descriptions are:
VioPrtSc supports text modes 0 through 3, and 7. An Alternate Video Subsystem may want to register a replacement for VioPrtSc. An advanced video subsystem could set a graphics mode while the mode known to the base video subsystem PrtSc routine is text. Then, if the operator presses PrtSc, the printer output is unpredictable. VioPrtSc is reserved for use by the session manager. Application programs may not issue VioPrtSc.
Three beeps are generated if a hard error is detected while writing to the printer.
