Modifies the value of a global string
#include <smglobs.hchar *sm_pset(int which, char *newval);
which- Specifies the global string to modify with one of these constants:
P_YES- Set the affirmative input that is valid for a field whose
keystroke_filteris set toPV_YES_NO. Supply a two-character string that contains the lowercase yes value and the uppercase yes value.P_NO- Set the negative input that is valid for a field whose
keystroke_filteris set toPV_YES_NO. Supply a two-character string that contains the lowercase no value and the uppercase no value.P_DECIMAL- Set the user's decimal point marker and the operating system's decimal point marker in a two-character string.
P_TERM- Set the terminal type. You must call
sm_psetwith this argument this before initialization.P_USER- Set a pointer to a developer-specified region of memory for the current screen. Each screen maintains its own pointer. This pointer is not set by Panther; it is set and maintained by the application.
SP_NAME- Set the name of the active screen.
SP_STATATTR- Set attributes of current status line—a pointer to an array of unsigned short integers.
SP_STATLINE- Set the current text of the status line as a space padded, 255 character string (not including the terminating null).
V_- One of the
V_constants defined insmvideo.h, returns video-related information.newval- The new value to assign to this global string.
Note: If you supply a
V_constant forwhich, declare this parameter as a static variable.
- · A pointer to a buffer with the old contents of the array specified by
which. The buffer's maximum size of 255 bytes, including the null terminator.
sm_psetlets you modify the contents of thewhich-specified global string. To get the value of a global string, use sm_pinquire.
/* Set things for "German": Ja == yes, */
/* Nein == no, and ',' is decimal point. */
