DEVOUT()
Write a value to the current device
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
DEVOUT(<exp>, [<cColorString>]) --> NIL
Arguments
<exp> is the value to display.
<cColorString> is an optional argument that defines the display
color of <exp>. If the current DEVICE setting is SCREEN, the output is
displayed in the specified color.
If not specified, <exp> is displayed as the standard color of the
current system color as defined by SETCOLOR(). <cColorString> is a
character expression containing the standard color setting. If you want
to specify a literal color setting, enclose it in quote marks.
Returns
DEVOUT() always returns NIL.
Description
DEVOUT() is a full-screen display function that writes the value of a
single expression to the current device at the current cursor or
printhead position. Use DEVOUT() with DEVPOS() in Std.ch to implement
the @...SAY command.
Examples
. This example shows the relationship between the DEVOUT()
function and the @...SAY command:
DEVPOS(10, 10)
DEVOUT("Hello there", "BG+/B"))
//
@ 10, 10 SAY "Hello there" COLOR "BG+/B"
