My application, written in PxPlus (not Nomads) occasionally uses 'BB' and 'EB' to highlight various fields.
Many, many years ago we set 'BB' to appear in red using
1116 VIDEO_PALETTE INDEXED READ TEMP$
1118 LET TEMP$(17,8)=$0101010101010101$; REM " 'BB' = Red
1120 VIDEO_PALETTE INDEXED TEMP$; REM "Save change
so these fields both blinked and appeared with red text.
I have a client who likes the red, but doesn't want the text to blink.
Is there a method to globally turn off the blink, without affecting the color?
I've tried
MNEMONIC 'BB'=""
and
MNEMONIC 'BB'=$00$
but those aren't accepted.
I've tried
?'OPTION'("BlinkTime",0)
but that seems to make the text disappear completely.
Maybe this is a matter of modifying the terminal driver in *dev
But, frankly, I'm not sure which terminal driver I'm using.
I'm starting PxPlus with
"\\spsrds\c$\PVX Plus Technologies\PxPlus 2019 Upd 1\pxplus.exe" -NR -SZ=8000 m:\_QAP\CP\OP4MZA"
running on a Windows server. What determines which terminal emulation setup routine is used? If I knew that, would it just be a matter of REM'ing out the
MNEMONIC 'BB'=
statement?
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.
