FT_ADAPTER()
Report the type of video adapter installed
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
FT_ADAPTER() -> nResult
Arguments
None
Returns
Integer representing type of video adapter
0 - monochrome
1 - CGA
2 - EGA
3 - VGA
Description
This function is valuable if you use a graphics library and need to
know what type of graphics adapter is installed.
The source code is written to adhere to Turbo Assembler's IDEAL mode.
To use another assembler, you will need to rearrange the PROC and
SEGMENT directives, and also the ENDP and ENDS directives (a very
minor task).
Examples
iVideo := FT_ADAPTER()
DO CASE
CASE iVideo == 0
QOUT( "You have a monochrome adapter." )
CASE iVideo == 1
QOUT( "You have a CGA adapter." )
CASE iVideo == 2
QOUT( "You have an EGA adapter." )
CASE iVideo == 3
QOUT( "You have a VGA adapter." )
ENDCASE
