Function 38: Get Maximum Virtual Coordinates (75952)

MORE INFORMATION

Mouse function 38 returns whether the mouse is enabled, and returns the virtual X and Y maximum coordinates.

Note: If the mouse driver version is earlier than version 7.05, function 38 returns the current set virtual X & Y maximum (in current mode). For driver versions 7.05 and later, function 38 returns the absolute virtual X & Y maximum (in current mode).

   Input          Output
   -----          ------

   AX = 38        BX = Mouse disabled flag
                       0 if mouse is enabled
                       !0 if mouse is disabled
                  CX = Virtual X maximum (in current video mode)
                  DX = Virtual Y maximum (in current video mode)
