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

VioSetState

This call performs one of the following functions; set palette registers, sets the overscan (border) colour, set the blink/background intensity switch, set color registers, set the underline location, or set the target VioSetMode display configuration.

Syntax

 VioSetState (RequestBlock, VioHandle)

Parameters

The six structures, depending on request type, are:

Applies to length (USHORT) - input : Length of structure, including length. reqtype (USHORT) - input
VIOPALSTATE EGA, VGA, or IBM Personal System/2 Display Adapter 38 - Maximum valid value Request type 0 for palette registers palette (USHORT) - input: First palette register in the palette register sequence; must be specified in the range 0 through 15. The palette registers are returned in sequential order. The number returned is based upon length.
color (USHORT*(length-6)/2) - input : Color value for each palette register. The maximum number of entries in the color value array is 16
VIOOVERSCANCGA, VGA, or IBM Personal System/2 Display AdapterOnly valid value.Request type 1 for overscan (border) color.Color value.
VIOINTENSITYCGA, EGA, MCGA, VGA, or IBM Personal System/2 Display AdapterOnly valid value.Request type 2 for blink/background intensity switch. switch (USHORT) - input : Switch set as:
0 - Blinking foreground colors enabled.
1 - High intensity background colors enabled.
VIOCOLORREGVGA, or IBM Personal System/2 Display Adapter12 - Only valid value.Request type 3 for color registers. first color (USHORT) - input : First color register to set in the color register sequence; must be specified in the range 0 through 255. The color registers are set in sequential order.
number color (USHORT) - input : Number of color registers to set; must be specified in the range 1 through 256.
datarea (PCH) - input : Far address of a data area containing one three-byte entry for each color register to be set. The format of each entry is as follows:
Byte 1 - Red value
Byte 2 - Green value
Byte 3 - Blue value
VIOSETULINELOCEGA, VGA, or IBM Personal System/2 Display AdapterOnly valid value.Request type 5 to set the scan line for underlining. Underlining is enabled only when the foreground color is 1 or 9. scanline (USHORT) - input : Scan line minus 1. Values of 0 through 31 are acceptable. A value of 32 means underlining is disabled.
VIOSETTARGET Only valid value.Request type 6 to set display configuration to be the target of the next VioSetMode. :select (USHORT) - input : Configuration:
0 - Default selection algorithm. See VioSetMode.
1 - Primary
2 - Secondary

Return Code

;rc (USHORT) - return:Return code descriptions are: *0 NO_ERROR *355 ERROR_VIO_MODE *421 ERROR_VIO_INVALID_PARMS *436 ERROR_VIO_INVALID_HANDLE *438 ERROR_VIO_INVALID_LENGTH *465 ERROR_VIO_DETACHED *494 ERROR_VIO_EXTENDED_SG

Remarks

Family API Considerations

Request type = 6, Set Target VioSetMode Display Configuration, and request type = 5, Set Underline Location, are not supported in the family API.

Some options operate differently in the DOS mode than in the OS/2 mode. Therefore, the following considerations applies to VioSetMode when coding for the DOS mode:
