NAME OpenScreenTagList -- openscreen() with tagitem extension array. (v36) OpenScreenTags -- Varargs stub for OpenScreenTagList. (V36) SYNOPSIS screen = openscreentaglist( newscreen, tagitems ) D0 A0 A1 struct screen *openscreentaglist( struct newscreen *, struct tagitem * ); screen = openscreentags( newscreen, tag1, ... ) struct screen *openscreentags( struct newscreen *, ULONG, ... ); FUNCTION Provides an extension to the parameters passed to openscreen(). This extensions is in the form of (a pointer to) an array of tagitem structures, which have to fields: ti_tag, an id identifying the meaning of the other field, ti_Data. See <utility/tagitem.h>. The tag items can supplement or override the values in newscreen. In fact, you can pass a NULL value of the newscreen pointer. For that matter, if you pass NULL in both arguments, you'll get a screen with defaults in all fields, including display mode, depth, colors, dimension, title, and so on. We ask that you at least supply a title when you open a screen. See openscreen() documentation for parameter specifications. INPUTS newscreen - (optional) pointer to a newscreen structure. TagItems - (optional) pointer to (an array of) tagitem structures, terminated by the value TAG_END. RESULT screen - an open intuition screen. see openscreen() for extended error codes when screen is returned null. EXAMPLE The version using a variable number of arguments must be created for each particular compiler, and may not have an analogue in all versions. For vanilla, 32-bit C parameter passing conventions, this works (and will appear in amiga.lib): struct screen * OpenScreenTags( ns, tag1 ) struct newscreen *ns; ULONG tag1; { struct screen *openscreentaglist(); return ( OpenScreenTagList( ns, (struct tagitem *) &tag1 ) ); } NOTES We recommend this extension to openscreen() over using the field ExtNewScreen.Extension. However, the ExtNewScreen.Extension is a convenient way to supply a few tags to V36 Intuition which will be ignored by V34 Intuition. See openscreen() documentation for lots of details.
