DESQview/QEMM Interrupt List Release 30 Last change 4/26/92 This compilation is Copyright (c) 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992 Ralf Brown --------------------------------------------- This is an extract of the full interrupt list, available as INTER29?.*. --------------------------------------------- If you notice any mistakes or omissions, please let me know! It is only with YOUR help that the list can continue to grow at the current rate. Please send all changes to me rather than distributing a modified version of the list. Please read the file INTERRUP.1ST before asking me any questions. You may find that they have already been addressed. Ralf Brown ARPA: ralf@cs.cmu.edu UUCP: {ucbvax,harvard}!cs.cmu.edu!ralf BIT: ralf%cs.cmu.edu@cmuccvma FIDO: Ralf Brown 1:129/26.1 or post a message to me in the DR_DEBUG echo CIS: >INTERNET:ralf@cs.cmu.edu I reply to all e-mail submissions and inquiries, but some of my replies bounce because of bad return paths. If you don't get a response from me within a reasonable period of time, send it again with a better return path (starting at harvard or ucbvax for UUCP, from the ARPA Internet for others). --------------------------------------------- See INTERRUP.1ST for the key to system abbreviations and a list of the trademarks mentioned here. --------------------------------------------- DISCLAIMER: THIS MATERIAL IS PROVIDED "AS IS". I verify the information contained in this list to the best of my ability, but I cannot be held responsible for any problems caused by use or misuse of the information, especially for those functions not officially documented. If it is marked "internal", you should check it carefully to make sure it works the same way in your version of the software (and please let me know whether or not it works the same way). Information marked with "???" is known to be incomplete or guesswork. --------------------------------------------- The use of -> instead of = signifies that the indicated register or register pair contains a pointer to the specified item, rather than the item itself ----------1000------------------------------- INT 10 - VIDEO - SET VIDEO MODE AH = 00h AL = mode (see below) Return: AL = video mode flag (Phoenix BIOS) 20h mode > 7 30h modes <= 7 except mode 6 3Fh mode 6 AL = CRT controller mode byte (Phoenix 386 BIOS v1.10) Notes: IBM standard modes do not clear the screen if the high bit of AL is set (EGA or higher only) SeeAlso: AX=0070h,AX=007Eh,AX=10F0h,AX=6F05h,AH=FFh"GO32",INT 5F/AH=00h Values for video mode: text/ text pixel pixel colors disply scrn system grph resol box resoltn pages addr 21h = G 80x43 8x8 720x348 mono B000 DESQview 2.x+Hercules [3] 22h = T 132x44 8x8 Tseng Labs EVA = G 80x43 8x8 720x348 mono B800 DESQview 2.x+Hercules [3] Notes: [3] DESQview intercepts calls to change into these two modes (21h is page 0, 22h is page 1) even if there is no Hercules graphics board installed ----------1080--DX4456----------------------- INT 10 - VIDEO (DESQview 2.0x only) - internal - SET ??? HANDLER AH = 80h DX = 4456h ('DV') ES:DI -> FAR subroutine to be called on ??? Return: DS = segment of DESQview data structure for video buffer Note: this function is probably meant for internal use only, due to the magic value required in DX the subroutine seems to be called when the DESQview menu is accessed; on entry, AL = 03h or 04h ----------1081--DX4456----------------------- INT 10 - VIDEO (DESQview 2.0x only) - internal - GET ??? AH = 81h DX = 4456h ('DV') Return: ES = segment of DESQview data structure for video buffer BYTE ES:[0] = current window number in DV 2.0x Note: this function is probably meant for internal use only, due to the magic value required in DX SeeAlso: AH=82h ----------1082--DX4456----------------------- INT 10 - VIDEO (DESQview 2.0x only) - internal - GET CURRENT WINDOW INFO AH = 82h DX = 4456h ('DV') Return: DS = segment in DESQview for data structure in DV 2.00, BYTE DS:[0] = window number WORD DS:[1] = segment of other data structure WORD DS:[3] = segment of window's object handle ES = segment of DESQview data structure for video buffer AL = current window number AH = ??? BL = direct screen writes 00h program does not do direct writes 01h program does direct writes, so shadow buffer not usable BH = ??? CL = current video mode CH = ???

Up to 32 tones may be queued before the process is blocked until a note completes. in DV 2.00, the lowest tone allowed is 20 Hz if CX = 0, the current note is cancelled; if BX = 0 as well, all queued notes are also cancelled SeeAlso: INT 16/AH=73h ----------15101A----------------------------- INT 15 - TopView - "OSTACK" - SWITCH TO TASK'S INTERNAL STACK AX = 101Ah Return: stack switched Notes: this call may not be nested; a second call must be preceded by a call to "USTACK" (AX=1025h) while TopView requires many API calls to be executed while on the task's internal stack, DESQview allows those calls to be executed regardless of the current stack SeeAlso: AX=1025h ----------15101B----------------------------- INT 15 - TopView - "BEGINC" - BEGIN CRITICAL REGION AX = 101Bh Return: task-switching temporarily disabled Notes: will not task-switch until "ENDC" (AX = 101Ch) called unless task voluntarily releases the CPU (upon regaining the CPU, task-switching will again be disabled) suspends the caller until DOS is free SeeAlso: AH=0Dh"MultiDOS",AX=101Ch,AX=DE13h,AX=DE1Ch,INT 2F/AX=1681h ----------15101C----------------------------- INT 15 - TopView - "ENDC" - END CRITICAL REGION AX = 101Ch Return: task-switching enabled Note: this API call may be made from within a hardware interrupt handler SeeAlso: AX=101Bh,AX=DE13h,AX=DE1Bh,INT 2F/AX=1682h ----------15101D----------------------------- INT 15 - TopView - "STOP" - STOP TASK AX = 101Dh ES = segment of object handle for task to be stopped (== handle of main window for that task) Return: indicated task will not get any CPU time until restarted with AX=101Eh Note: once a task has been stopped, additional "STOP"s are ignored BUG: in DV 2.00, this function is ignored unless the indicated task is the current task SeeAlso: AX=101Eh,AX=102Bh,AH=12h"VMiX" ----------15101E----------------------------- INT 15 - TopView - "START" - START TASK AX = 101Eh ES = segment of object handle for task to be started (== handle of main window for that task) Return: indicated task is started up again Note: once a task has been started, additional "START"s are ignored SeeAlso: AX=101Dh,AX=102Bh ----------15101F----------------------------- INT 15 - TopView - "DISPEROR" - POP-UP ERROR WINDOW AX = 101Fh BX = bit fields bits 0-12: number of characters to display bits 13,14: which mouse button may be pressed to remove window 00 = either 01 = left 10 = right 11 = either bit 15: beep if 1 ES:DI -> text of message CH = width of error window (0 = default) CL = height of error window (0 = default) DX = segment of object handle Return: BX = status: 1 = left button, 2 = right, 27 = ESC pressed Note: window remains on-screen until ESC or indicated mouse button is pressed ----------151020----------------------------- INT 15 -

TopView - "GETVER" - GET VERSION AX = 1022h BX = 0000h Return: BX nonzero, TopView or compatible loaded (BL = major version, BH = minor version) Notes: TaskView returns BX = 0001h, DESQview v2.00+ returns BX = 0A01h ----------151023----------------------------- INT 15 -

TopView - "USTACK" - SWITCH BACK TO USER'S STACK AX = 1025h Return: stack switched back Notes: call only after having switched to internal stack with AX=101Ah while TopView requires many API calls to be executed while on the task's private stack, DESQview allows those calls to be executed regardless of the current stack SeeAlso: AX=101Ah ----------1510------------------------------- INT 15 - DESQview (TopView???) - UNIMPLEMENTED IN DV 2.x AH = 10h AL = 26h thru 2Ah Return: pops up "Programming error" window in DV 2.x ----------15102B----------------------------- INT 15 - DESQview v2.00+ (TopView???) -
