SET(TEXT) Sets or changes the way text is displayed in a window, or sets the text that is to appear in a widget. Syntax Choose either of two variants: SET (TEXT, window, {BLANK_TABS | GRAPHIC_TABS | NO_TRANSLATE}) or SET (TEXT, widget, string) Parameters window The window for which you are setting text. BLANK_TABS Displays tabs as blank spaces. This is the default setting. GRAPHIC_TABS Displays tabs as special graphic characters (which makes the value of each tab stop easier to see). NO_TRANSLATE Sends every character in the displayed lines directly to the screen without any translation. Any escape sequences in the text are transmitted. DECTPU does not control or keep track of how these escape sequences affect the terminal. Use this keyword with extreme care. widget The instance of a simple text widget whose text you want to set. Valid only in the DECwindows environment. string The text you want to assign to the simple text widget. Examples 1. SET (TEXT, main_window, graphic_tabs); Sets the text in the main window to display tabs as graphic characters. 2. The following procedure shows a use of the NO_TRANSLATE keyword; notice that the default setting is restored as soon as the function for which NO_TRANSLATE is set has finished executing: PROCEDURE user_print_screen ! If terminal has printer connected to printer port, ! use this to print the screen contents. Set window ! to NO_TRANSLATE to allow escape sequences to pass ! to printer, then restore setting. SET (TEXT, message_window, NO_TRANSLATE); MESSAGE (ASCII (27) + "[i"); UPDATE (message_window); ! ! Put back the window the way it was. ! SET (TEXT, message_window, BLANK_TABS); ERASE (message_buffer); ENDPROCEDURE;
