_GetOSPrompt( ) API Library Routine


void _GetOSPrompt(MENUID menuid, ITEMID itemid, char FAR text) MENUID menuid; / ID of menu from which to get prompt / MENUID itemuid ; / Index (0-based) of menu item. / char FAR text; /* Text of menu command. */

void _GetOSPrompt(MENUID menuid, ITEMID itemid, char FAR *text)
MENUID menuid;            /* ID of menu from which to get prompt */
MENUID itemuid ;            /* Index (0-based) of menu item. */
char FAR *text;               /* Text of menu command. */

Can be used for developing applications with language-independent access keys.
