ON PEN Trap for Light Pen Activity
ON PEN GOSUB {linenum | linelabel}
Establishes a subroutine to which QuickBASIC will branch if it detects
light pen activity. The trap must also be turned on by means of a PEN
ON statement.
linenum The first line of a pen-handling subroutine. Setting
linenum to 0 disables trapping.
linelabel A label identifying the first line of a pen-handling
routine.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: {linenum | linelabel} must be defined at the main program
level.
When activity is detected, QuickBASIC branches to the
specified subroutine and temporarily suspends trapping (by
means of an implicit PEN STOP statement). Trapping
automatically resumes when a RETURN from the handling
subroutine is executed (unless the handler explicitly
performs a PEN OFF or PEN STOP).
All event trapping is temporarily disabled when QuickBASIC
is executing an error-handling routine (established via an
ON ERROR statement).
If the "Checking Between Statements" option is in effect,
QB checks after each statement. If the "Event Trapping"
option is selected, QB checks after each new program line.
If neither option is selected, no trapping takes place.
For command-line compilation, /v enables checking after
each statement, and /w enables checking after each new
line. If neither switch is used, no trapping takes place.
