This call is issued by the Session Manager when the operator presses PrtSc.
Syntax
VioPrtSc (VioHandle)
Parameters
;VioHandle (HVIO) - input: Reserved word of 0s.
Return Code
;rc (USHORT) - return:Return code descriptions are: *0 NO_ERROR *355 ERROR_VIO_MODE *402 ERROR_VIO_SMG_ONLY *436 ERROR_VIO_INVALID_HANDLE *465 ERROR_VIO_DETACHED
Remarks
VioPrtSc supports text modes 0 through 3, and 7. An Alternate Video Subsystem may want to register a replacement for VioPrtSc. An advanced video subsystem could set a graphics mode while the mode known to the base video subsystem PrtSc routine is text. Then, if the operator presses PrtSc, the printer output is unpredictable. VioPrtSc is reserved for use by the session manager. Application programs may not issue VioPrtSc.
Three beeps are generated if a hard error is detected while writing to the printer.
