Subject : Superbitmap windows flag
I thought someone recently posted the flag for this, but I guess not.
I realise that this flag isn't listed in the manuals or online help, but it took
me less than 5 minutes to dig through a couple of refrences to find a program that
used the flag. From there all it required was a simple comparison of flags.
So, here's some info...
If you don't have a program example showing how to use SuperBitmaps in windows,
you should get bb2guide off aminet right now. It lists commands from Bums
1-7 and is always a handy reference to have around. The program example is
listed there and in Bum 5.
The flag....
$80
A little more about flags.. (For those who are interested)
Flags (listed in hex) are quite easy to figure out. They run in patterns, so
looking for a flag (or finding which flag you need) is quite easy.
Flag patterning (IN HEX!)
If you look thru the blitz manual, you'll notice that it starts out like this:
$1 .. $2 .. $4.. $8. That is the start of the pattern. Notice the rest of them
are the same with zeros added. Like $10, $400, $1000 etc etc.. See the pattern?
(Also note that if you combine $1+$2+$4+$8 it is $F (15) so it doesn't change
the spot to the left.)
In this case, the flag was $1489. I know that $1000, $400 and $9 ($8 + $1) are
real flags. Hmmm... $80 isn't listed. Ah ha!
I hope someone finds the usefull...
