Parameters

TopRow (USHORT) - input
Top row to be scrolled.
LeftCol (USHORT) - input
Left column to be scrolled.
BotRow (USHORT) - input
Bottom row to be scrolled.
RightCol (USHORT) - input
Right column to be scrolled.
Lines (USHORT) - input
Number of lines to be inserted at the bottom of the screen area being scrolled. If 0 is specified, no lines are scrolled.
Cell (PBYTE) - input
Address of the character attribute(s) pair (2 or 4 bytes) used as a fill character on inserted lines.
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

TopRow = 0 and LeftCol = 0 identifies the top left corner of the screen.

If a value greater than the maximum value is specified for TopRow, LeftCol, BotRow, RightCol, or Lines, the maximum value for that parameter is used.

If TopRow and LeftCol = 0 and if BotRow, RightCol, and Lines = 65535 (or -1 in assembler language), the entire screen is filled with the character-attribute pair defined by Cell.
