HBLINDOPEN()
HBLINDOPEN() displays a pre-saved screen using a horizontal blinds
effect.
To use HBLINDOPEN(), first paint your screen then call HBLINDSAVE():
Syntax
HBLINDSAVE(<screen file>)
Required Parameter
<screen file> is the name of the file to save the screen in.
When you want to restore the screen with the horizontal blinds
effect, use HBLINDOPEN() like so:
HBLINDOPEN(<screen file> [, <delay>])
Required Parameter
<screen file> is the name of the file containing the saved screen.
Optional Parameter
<delay> is a numeric expression representing the delay factor to use
in opening the drapes. Values between 5 and 50 are recommended.
The default is 15.
Sample Usage
Please refer to the pseudo-code that accompanies the discussion on
PULL_DRAPE() and SAVE_DRAPE() for tips on how to intelligently
incorporate HBLINDOPEN() in your program.
