Functions 20, 22, and 23 Fail Under Basic Interpreter
This article was previously published under Q19868 On this Page
SUMMARY
Microsoft Basic Interpreter cannot use mouse driver version 6.0
functions 20, 22, or 23. These functions cause your program to
hang.
To work around this problem, use the most current version of the mouse driver and/or a compiled version of Basic, such as QuickBasic. MORE INFORMATION
This problem only applies to Microsoft QuickBasic if it is CALLing the
driver. It is proper if QuickBasic uses the MOUSE.LIB utility, and so
on (that is, goes to the driver through the INT code). The front end
of the version 6.0 mouse driver, which allows a CALL rather than an
INT to the driver, fails to handle the parameters for these calls
correctly.
For more information on using CALL and INT with Basic Interpreter, query on the following words in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
