TempMessage                                                     WinTTT



Purpose   To display a message anywhere on the screen, wait for a
          keypress (or mouse activity), and then restore the original
          screen contents.

Declaration    TempMessage(X,Y,F,B: integer; St: string);

          X is the X coord of the first character (1..80)
          Y is the Y coordinate or display line (1..25)
          F is the foreground color (0..15)
          B is the background color (0..15)
          St is the string or message text

Uses Crt, FastTTT, DOS, WinTTT.

Remarks   The procedure temporarily stores the line of text together
          with its color attributes. It  displays the temporary
          message, and after a key is pressed (any key, or any mouse
          activity), the original text and color attributes are
          restored to the screen.

          Note that the procedure does not return which key was
          pressed.

          This is one of the most popular procedures in the Toolkit
          and is most useful when the screen is very busy and you want
          to display an error or warning message without modifying the
          display.


Example


               USES CRT, FASTTTT, DOS, WINTTT;
               BEGIN
                 TEMPMESSAGE(1,1,YELLOW,RED,'YOU CANNOT REFORMAT THE
                 NETWORK!');
               END.
