LOCKMODE Mnemonic - Lock Columns and Rows

Syntax

'LOCKMODE'("off")

'LOCKMODE'("varyfont")

'LOCKMODE'("scrollbars")

Description

In BBj 4.0 and higher, the 'LOCKMODE' mnemonic sets the column and row locking scheme used by the SysConsole/SysWindow.

Parameter

Description

"off"

Turns off column and row locking.

"varyfont"

Locks the number of columns and rows displayed in the SysWindow. When resizing the SysWindow by dragging the window frame with the mouse, the font point size increases or decreases to preserve the aspect ratio of the font and the specified columns and rows.

"scrollbars"

Locks the number of columns and rows displayed in the SysWindow. When resizing the SysWindow by dragging the window frame with the mouse, the horizontal and vertical scrollbars appear as necessary to allow viewing the entire area.

The 'LOCKMODE' mnemonic does not cause the SysConsole/SysWindow to repaint or change size. The modes set with the mnemonic merely control what will happen the next time that the SysWindow is resized.
