Propeller BackPack constants

Tumbler

In the bp_tv_overlay pdf, i see some presets for a window. (about 10) But they i can't find them all in the constants list.

Wich constant i have to add for a time/date preset window? (using a BS2)

Tumbler,

Here are the values of those constants, as defined in the overlay object:

  BIGWIN        = $01           '40 x 13 regular window.
  CREDITS       = $02           'Vertically overscanned window with smooth scrolling.
  MARQUEE       = $03           'Single row at bottom with smooth scrolling.
  HILO          = $04           'Single rows top and bottom.
  HILO2         = $05           'Dual rows top and bottom.
  DATETIME      = $06           'Date and time in lower right-hand corner.
  HIDATTIM      = $07           'Same as DATETIME with message row along top.
  CROSS         = $08           'Single cross-shaped cursor in middle of 40 x 13 screen.
  BOX           = $09           'Single box-shaped cursor in middle of 40 x 13 screen.
  DOT           = $0A           'Single dot cursor in middle of 40 x 13 screen.

Thx Phil,

I couldn't find them in the pdf or in the pbasic program.
As you can see, there is a typo on page 20

BIGWIN = $01 '40 x 13 regular window.
CREDITS = $02 'Vertically overscanned window with smooth scrolling.
MARQUEE = $03 'Single row at bottom with smooth scrolling.
HILO = $04 'Single rows top and bottom.
HILO2 = $05 'Dual rows top and bottom.
CROSS = $06 'Single cross-shaped cursor in middle of 40 x 13 screen.
BOX = $07 'Single box-shaped cursor in middle of 40 x 13 screen.
