Syntax

FlexScreen.GetData(StartPos, EndPos, FlexPlane)


Parameters


StartPos

Integer, input



Integer value of the zero based starting screen position, which may be obtained by using the FlexScreen.Position method.


EndPos

Integer, input



Integer value of the zero based ending screen position, which may be obtained by using the FlexScreen.Position method.


FlexPlane

For i=0 To 9
