Introduction

edit

This library is a replacement for the original intuition requesters, just like asl.

ReqTools features the following requesters: a query requester, a string requester, a number requester, a file requester, a font requester, a palette requester and new in release 2.0 of ReqTools a volume requester and a screen mode requester.

AROS recommends Zune (Mui rewrite) as the default requesters and ReqTools and ASL is for backwards compatibility.

Examples

       {
       ULONG tags[] = { RTEZ_ReqTitle, (ULONG)"mytitle", TAG_END };

       rtEZRequest ("String, num: %s, %ld", NULL, "Ok", (struct TagItem *)tags, "six", 6);
       }

Found a problem, though - I use an environment variable to set up my prefs, as I expect is normal. When I open the library manually, all works fine (the GetVar() is in the LibOpen() code). When I use mount, it crashes solidly.

Is there a safe version of GetVar() which I can use which will work in the Mount command?

If you can test this under AROS hosted such crashes are usually easy to debug with gdb. There are other libs which use GetVar() in libopen, like reqtools.library (workbench/libs/reqtools).

How does the part of the code using GetVar() look like?

I tried just now to use exactly the same code as reqtools.library in my code... and as before it crashes when run from a Mount command (i.e. "Mount TD0:") and works when run from my own program.

Presumably something in the mount command spawns a task or something? Have yet to look into creating a process, but it's worth noting that that means reqtools.library probably can't be safely opened from within a task either....

TAGS for the file requester

        RTFI_Dir         - (char *) 
                           Name of new directory to position file requester
                           in. The requester's buffer will be deallocated.
        RTFI_MatchPat    - (char *)
                           New pattern string to match files on.
        RTFI_AddEntry    - (BPTR)
                           THIS *MUST* BE THE LAST TAG (just before TAG_END)!
                           Tagdata must hold a lock on a file or directory
                           you want to add to the file requester's buffer.
                           The lock should have been obtained using Lock(),
                           and you must unlock this lock yourself.
                           It is your responsibility to make sure the file
                           or directory is indeed in the directory the file
                           requester is in.
                           If the entry is already in the file requester's
                           buffer it will simply be updated.
                           It is harmless to use this tag if the requester's
                           buffer is not initialized. rtChangeReqAttr() will
                           return a boolean to indicate success or failure
                           (out of memory).
        RTFI_RemoveEntry - (char *)
                           Name of file or directory you want to remove from
                           the file requester's buffer.
                           It is your responsibility to make sure the file
                           or directory is indeed in the directory the file
                           requester is in.
                           It is harmless use this tag if the requester's
                           buffer is not initialized.
    for the font requester:
        RTFO_FontName    - (char *) 
                           Set the name of the currently selected font.
        RTFO_FontHeight  - (UWORD)
                           Set the fontsize of the currently selected font.
        RTFO_FontStyle   - (UBYTE)
                           Set the style of the current font.
        RTFO_FontFlags   - (UBYTE)
                           Set the flags of the current font.
    for the screenmode requester [V38]:
        RTSC_ModeFromScreen - (struct Screen *)
                              Screen to get mode attributes from.
                              NOTE: You must make sure the mode this screen
                                    is in will be accepted by the screen
                                    mode requester.  Otherwise it will auto-
                                    matically cancel.  For example, you use
                                    RTDI_ModeFromScreen on a HAM screen and
                                    you haven't set the SCREQF_NONSTDMODES
                                    flag.
                              Note that you must use this tag _before_ the
                              four tags below because this tag will set the
                              width, height, depth and autoscroll.
        RTSC_DisplayID      - (ULONG)
                              Set 32-bit mode id of selected mode.  The width
                              and height will be set to the default (visible)
                              width and height, and the depth will be set to
                              maximum.  Also read note above.  Note that you
                              must use this tag _before_ the three tags below
                              because this tag will set the width, height and
                              depth to default values.
        RTSC_DisplayWidth   - (UWORD)
                              Set width of display.  Must come after
                              RTSC_DisplayID or RTSC_ModeFromScreen tags.
        RTSC_DisplayHeight  - (UWORD)
                              Set height of display.  Must come after
                              RTSC_DisplayID or RTSC_ModeFromScreen tags.
        RTSC_DisplayDepth   - (UWORD)
                              Set depth of display.  Must come after
                              RTSC_DisplayID or RTSC_ModeFromScreen tags.
        RTSC_AutoScroll     - (BOOL)
                              Boolean state of autoscroll checkbox.
                              Must come after RTSC_ModeFromScreen tag.
        RTSC_OverscanType   - (ULONG)
                              Set type of overscan.  Set to 0 for regular
                              size, otherwise use OSCAN_... constants.
                              See 'intuition/screens.[h|i]'.
TAGS for ezREQUEST and rtFileRequest 
    RT_Window       - (struct Window *)
                      Window that will be used to find the screen to put the
                      requester on.
                      If you supply this tag ReqTools will see if this window
                      is active.  If it is not the requester will also be
                      opened in inactive state.
                      You *MUST* supply this if you are a task calling this
                      function and not a process! This is because tasks
                      don't have a pr_WindowPtr.
    RT_IDCMPFlags   - (ULONG)
                      Extra idcmp flags to return on.  If one these IDCMP
                      flags causes the requester to abort the return code
                      will equal the flag in question.
    RT_ReqPos       - (ULONG)
                      One of the following:
                        REQPOS_POINTER    - requester appears where the mouse
                                            pointer is (default).
                        REQPOS_CENTERSCR  - requester is centered on the
                                            screen.
                        REQPOS_CENTERWIN  - requester is centered in the
                                            window (only works if the
                                            pr_WindowPtr of your process is
                                            valid or if you use RT_Window).
                                            If RT_Window is NULL the
                                            requester will be centered on
                                            the screen.
                        REQPOS_TOPLEFTSCR - requester appears at the top left
                                            of the screen.
                        REQPOS_TOPLEFTWIN - requester appears at the top left
                                            of the window (only works if the
                                            pr_WindowPtr of your process is
                                            valid or if you use RT_Window).
                      The requester will always remain in the visible part of
                      the screen, so if you use the Workbench 2.0 ScreenMode
                      preferences editor to enlarge your Workbench screen and
                      you scroll around, the requester will always appear in
                      the part you can see.
                      REQPOS_CENTERSCR and REQPOS_TOPLEFTSCR also apply to
                      the visible part of the screen. So if you use one of
                      these the requester will be appear in the center or the
                      top left off what you can see of the screen as opposed
                      to the entire screen.
                      REQPOS_CENTERWIN and REQPOS_TOPLEFTWIN fall back to
                      REQPOS_CENTERSCR or REQPOS_TOPLEFTSCR respectively
                      when there is no parent window.  So you can safely use
                      these without worrying about the existence of a window.
    RT_LeftOffset   - (ULONG)
                      Offset of left edge of requester relative to position
                      specified with RT_ReqPos (does not offset the requester
                      when RT_ReqPos is REQPOS_POINTER).
    RT_TopOffset    - (ULONG)
                      Offset of top edge of requester relative to position
                      specified with RT_ReqPos (does not offset the requester
                      when RT_ReqPos is REQPOS_POINTER).
    RT_PubScrName   - (char *)
                      Name of public screen requester should appear on. When
                      this tag is used the RT_Window tag will be ignored.
                      If the public screen is not found the requester will
                      open on the default public screen.
                      Only works on Kickstart 2.0!  reqtools.library does
                      not check this, it is up to you *NOT* to use this tag
                      on Kickstart 1.3 or below!
                      Note that the 1.3 version of reqtools.library also
                      understands and supports this tag (on 2.0).
    RT_Screen       - (struct Screen *)
                      Address of screen to put requester on.  You should
                      never use this, use RT_Window or RT_PubScrName.
    RT_ReqHandler   - (struct rtHandlerInfo **)
                      Using this tag you can start an "asynchronous"
                      requester. ti_TagData of the tag must hold the address
                      of a pointer variable to a rtHandlerInfo structure.
                      The requester will initialize this pointer and will
                      return immediately after its normal initialization.
                      The return code will not be what you would normally
                      expect.  If the return code is _not_ equal to
                      CALL_HANDLER an error occurred and you should take
                      appropriate steps. If the return code was CALL_HANDLER
                      everything went ok and the requester will still be up!
                      See the explanation for rtReqHandlerA() below for the
                      following steps you have to take.
    RT_WaitPointer  - (BOOL)
                      If this is TRUE the window calling the requester will
                      get a standard wait pointer set while the requester is
                      up.  This will happen if you used the RT_Window tag or
                      if your process's pr_WindowPtr is valid.  Note that
                      after the requester has finished your window will be
                      ClearPointer()-ed.  If you used a custom pointer in
                      your window you will have to re-set it, or not use the
                      RT_WaitPointer tag and put up a wait pointer yourself.
                      If your program requires ReqTools V38 it is advised you
                      use RT_LockWindow instead.  Defaults to FALSE.
    RT_LockWindow   - (BOOL) [V38]
                      If this is TRUE the window calling the requester will
                      get locked.  It will no longer accept any user input
                      and it will get standard wait pointer set.  This will
                      happen only if you used the RT_Window tag or if your
                      process's pr_WindowPtr is valid.  RT_LockWindow will
                      restore a custom pointer if you have used one (unlike
                      RT_WaitPointer).  So you do not have to worry about
                      having to restore it yourself.  It is advised you use
                      this tag as much as possible. Defaults to FALSE.
                      Under Kickstart V39 the original window pointer will
                      not be restored if it was set using SetWindowPointer().
                      You will have to restore the pointer yourself in this
                      case.
    RT_ScreenToFront - (BOOL) [V38]
                      Boolean indicating whether to pop the screen the
                      requester will appear on to the front. Default is TRUE.
    RT_ShareIDCMP   - (BOOL) [V38]
                      Boolean indicating whether to share the IDCMP port of
                      the parent window. Use this tag together with the
                      RT_Window tag to indicate the window to share IDCMP
                      with. Sharing the IDCMP port produces less overhead,
                      so it is advised you use this tag. Defaults to FALSE.
    RT_Locale       - (struct Locale *) [V38]
                      Locale to determine what language to use for the
                      requester text.  If this tag is not used or its data
                      is NULL, the system's current default locale will be
                      used. Default NULL.
    RT_IntuiMsgFunc - (struct Hook *) [V38]
                      The requester will call this hook for each IDCMP
                      message it gets that doesn't belong to its window.
                      Only applies if you used the RT_ShareIDCMP tag to share
                      the IDCMP port with the parent window.  Parameters are
                      as follows:
                        A0 - (struct Hook *) your hook
                        A2 - (struct rtReqInfo *) your requester info
                        A1 - (struct IntuiMessage *) the message
                      After you have finished examining the message and your
                      hook returns, ReqTools will reply the message.  So do
                      not reply the message yourself!
    RT_Underscore   - (char) [V38]
                      Indicates the symbol that precedes the character in the
                      gadget label to be underscored.  This is to define a
                      keyboard shortcut for this gadget.  Example: to define
                      the key 'Q' as a keyboard shortcut for "Quit" and 'N'
                      for "Oh, No!" you would use the tag RT_Underscore, '_'
                      and pass as gadfmt "_Quit|Oh, _No!".  Do not use the
                      symbol '%' as it is used for string formatting.  The
                      usual character to use is '_' like in the example.
                      IMPORTANT: the shortcuts defined using RT_Underscore
                      take precedence of the default shortcuts!  It is for
                      example not wise to use a 'N' for a positive response!
                      Pick your shortcuts carefully!
    RT_TextAttr     - (struct TextAttr *) [V38]
                      Use this font for the requester.  Default is to use the
                      screen font.  Note that the font must already be
                      opened by you.  ReqTools will call OpenFont() on this
                      TextAttr, _not_ OpenDiskFont()!  If the font cannot be
                      opened using OpenFont() the default screen font will
                      be used.
    RTEZ_ReqTitle   - (char *)
                      Title of requester window, default is "Request" unless
                      the requester has less than 2 responses, then the
                      default title is "Information".
    RTEZ_Flags      - (ULONG)
                      Flags for rtEZRequestA():
                        EZREQF_NORETURNKEY - turn off the RETURN key as
                                             shortcut for positive response.
                        EZREQF_LAMIGAQUAL  - keyboard shortcuts are limited
                                             to Left Amiga 'V' and 'B', ESC
                                             and RETURN.
                        EZREQF_CENTERTEXT  - centers each line of body text
                                             in the requester window. Useful
                                             for about requesters.
    RTEZ_DefaultResponse - (ULONG)
                      Response value that will be returned when the user
                      presses the return key.  Will be ignored if the
                      EZREQF_NORETURNKEY flag is set.  The text for this
                      response will be printed in bold. Default is 1.

    RT_IntuiMsgFunc    - (struct Hook *) [V38]
                         The requester will call this hook for each IDCMP
                         message it gets that doesn't belong to its window.
                         Only applies if you used the RT_ShareIDCMP tag to
                         share the IDCMP port with the parent window.
                         Parameters are as follows:
                           A0 - (struct Hook *) your hook
                           A2 - (struct rtFileRequester *) your requester
                           A1 - (struct IntuiMessage *) the message
                         After you have finished examining the message and
                         your hook returns, ReqTools will reply the message.
                         So do not reply the message yourself!
    RT_Underscore      - (char) [V38]
                         Indicates the symbol that precedes the character in
                         a gadget's label to be underscored.  This will also
                         define the keyboard shortcut for this gadget.
                         Currently only needed for RTFI_OkText.  Usually set
                         to '_'.
    RT_DefaultFont     - (struct TextFont *)
                         This tag allows you to specify the font to be used
                         in the requester when the screen font is
                         proportional. Default is GfxBase->DefaultFont.
    RT_TextAttr        - (struct TextAttr *) [V38]
                         Use this font for the requester.  Must be a fixed
                         width font, _not_ a proportional one.  Default is to
                         use the screen font or the default font (if the
                         screen font is proportional).  Note that the font
                         must already be opened by you.  ReqTools will call
                         OpenFont() on this TextAttr, _not_ OpenDiskFont()!
                         If the font cannot be opened using OpenFont() or if
                         the font is proportional the default screen font
                         will be used (or the font set with RT_DefaultFont).
    RTFI_Flags         - (ULONG)
                         Several flags:
                           FREQF_NOBUFFER    - do _not_ use a buffer to
                                               remember directory contents
                                               for the next time the file
                                               requester is used.
                           FREQF_MULTISELECT - allow multiple files to be
                                               selected. rtFileRequest() will
                                               return a pointer to an
                                               rtFileList structure which
                                               will contain all selected
                                               files.  Use rtFreeFileList()
                                               to free the memory used by
                                               this file list.
                           FREQF_SELECTDIRS  - set this flag if you wish to
                                               enable the selecting of dirs
                                               as well as files.  You *must*
                                               also set FREQF_MULTISELECT.
                                               Directories will be returned
                                               together with files in
                                               rtFileList, but with StrLen
                                               equal to -1.  If you need the
                                               length of the directory's name
                                               use strlen().
                           FREQF_SAVE        - Set this if you are using the
                                               requester to save or delete
                                               something.  Double-clicking
                                               will be disabled so it is
                                               harder to make a mistake and
                                               select the wrong file.  If the
                                               user enters a non-existent
                                               directory in the drawer string
                                               gadget, a requester will
                                               appear asking if the directory
                                               should be created.
                           FREQF_NOFILES     - Set this if you want to use
                                               the requester to allow the
                                               user to select a directory
                                               rather than a file.  Ideal for
                                               getting a destination dir. May
                                               be used with FREQF_MULTISELECT
                                               and FREQF_SELECTDIRS.
                           FREQF_PATGAD      - When this is set a pattern
                                               gadget will be added to the
                                               requester.
    RTFI_Height        - (ULONG)
                         Suggested height of file requester window.
    RTFI_OkText        - (char *)
                         Replacement text for "Ok" gadget, max 6 chars long.
    RTFI_VolumeRequest - (ULONG) [V38]
                         The presence of this tag turns the file requester
                         into a volume/assign disk requester.  This requester
                         can be used to get a device name ("DF0:", "DH1:",..)
                         or an assign ("C:", "FONTS:",...) from the user.
                         The result of this requester can be found in the
                         filereq->Dir field.  The volume can also be changed
                         with rtChangeReqAttrA() and the RTFI_Dir tag.  Note
                         that the user may edit the disk/assign names, or
                         enter a new one.  Note also that the real device
                         name is returned, not the name of the volume in the
                         device.  For example "DH1:", not "Hard1:".
                         The tag data (ULONG) is used to set following flags:
                           VREQF_NOASSIGNS - Do not include the assigns in
                                             the list, only the real devices.
                           VREQF_NODISKS   - Do not include devices, just
                                             show the assigns.
                           VREQF_ALLDISKS  - Show _all_ devices.  Default
                                             behavior is to show only those
                                             devices which have valid disks
                                             inserted into them.  So if you
                                             have no disk in drive DF0: it
                                             will not show up.  Set this flag
                                             if you do want these devices
                                             included.
                         NOTE: Do *NOT* use { RTFI_VolumeRequest, TRUE }!
                               You are then setting the VREQF_NOASSIGNS flag!
                               Use { RTFI_VolumeRequest, 0 } for a normal
                               volume requester.
                         NOTE: If you use the RTFI_FilterFunc described
                               below the third parameter will be a pointer
                               to a rtVolumeEntry structure rather than a
                               pointer to a FileInfoBlock structure!
                               Tech note: the DOS device list has been
                               unlocked, so it is safe to e.g. Lock() this
                               device and call Info() on this lock.
                         NOTE: A file requester structure allocated with
                               rtAllocRequest() should not be used for both
                               a file and a volume requester. Allocate two
                               requester structures if you need both a file
                               and a volume requester in your program!
    RTFI_FilterFunc    - (struct Hook *) [V38]
                         Call this hook for each file in the directory being
                         read (or for each entry in the volume requester).
                         Parameters are as follows:
                           A0 - (struct Hook *) your hook
                           A2 - (struct rtFileRequester *) your filereq
                           A1 - (struct FileInfoBlock *) fib of file OR
                                (struct rtVolumeEntry *) device or assign
                                in case of a volume requester.
                         If your hook returns TRUE the file will be accepted.
                         If it returns FALSE the file will be skipped and
                         will not appear in the requester.
                         IMPORTANT NOTE: If you change your hook's behavior
                                         you _MUST_ purge the requester's
                                         buffer (using rtFreeReqBuffer())!
                         IMPORTANT NOTE: When this callback hook is called
                                         from a volume requester the
                                         pr_WindowPtr of your process will
                                         be set to -1 so *no* DOS requesters
                                         will appear when an error occurs!
    RTFI_AllowEmpty    - (BOOL) [V38]
                         If RTFI_AllowEmpty is TRUE an empty file string will
                         also be accepted and returned.  Defaults to FALSE,
                         meaning that if the user enters no filename the
                         requester will be canceled.  You should use this tag
                         as little as possible!

    RT_IntuiMsgFunc   - (struct Hook *) [V38]
                        The requester will call this hook for each IDCMP
                        message it gets that doesn't belong to its window.
                        Only applies if you used the RT_ShareIDCMP tag to
                        share the IDCMP port with the parent window.
                        Parameters are as follows:
                          A0 - (struct Hook *) your hook
                          A2 - (struct rtFontRequester *) your requester
                          A1 - (struct IntuiMessage *) the message
                        After you have finished examining the message and
                        your hook returns, ReqTools will reply the message.
                        So do not reply the message yourself!
    RT_Underscore     - (char) [V38]
                        Indicates the symbol that precedes the character in
                        a gadget's label to be underscored.  This will also
                        define the keyboard shortcut for this gadget.
                        Currently only needed for RTFO_OkText.  Usually set
                        to '_'.
    RT_DefaultFont    - (struct TextFont *)
                        This tag allows you to specify the font to be used in
                        the requester when the screen font is proportional.
                        Default is GfxBase->DefaultFont.
    RT_TextAttr       - [V38] see rtFileRequestA()
                        Remember: font cannot be proportional!
    RTFO_Flags        - (ULONG)
                        Several flags:
                          FREQF_NOBUFFER      - do not buffer the font list
                                                for subsequent calls to
                                                rtFontRequestA().
                          FREQF_FIXEDWIDTH    - only show fixed-width fonts.
                          FREQF_COLORFONTS    - show color fonts also.
                          FREQF_CHANGEPALETTE - change the screen's palette
                                                to match that of a selected
                                                color font.
                          FREQF_LEAVEPALETTE  - leave the palette as it is
                                                when exiting rtFontRequestA()
                                                Useful in combination with
                                                FREQF_CHANGEPALETTE.
                          FREQF_SCALE         - allow fonts to be scaled
                                                when they don't exist in the
                                                requested size.
                                                (works on Kickstart 2.0 only,                                                
                                                 has no effect on 1.2/1.3).
                          FREQF_STYLE         - include gadgets so the user
                                                may select the font's style.
    RTFO_Height       - (ULONG)
                        Suggested height of font requester window.
    RTFO_OkText       - (char *)
                        Replacement text for "Ok" gadget.  Maximum 6 chars.
                        (7 is still ok, but not esthetically pleasing)
    RTFO_SampleHeight - (ULONG)
                        Height of font sample display in pixels (default 24).
    RTFO_MinHeight    - (ULONG)
                        Minimum font size displayed.
    RTFO_MaxHeight    - (ULONG)
                        Maximum font size displayed.
    RTFO_FilterFunc   - (struct Hook *) [V38]
                        Call this hook for each available font.
                        Parameters are as follows:
                          A0 - (struct Hook *) your hook
                          A2 - (struct rtFontRequester *) your filereq
                          A1 - (struct TextAttr *) textattr of font
                        If your hook returns TRUE the font will be accepted.
                        If it returns FALSE the font will be skipped and
                        will not appear in the requester.
                        IMPORTANT NOTE:  If you change your hook's behavior
                        you _MUST_ purge the requester's buffer (using
                        rtFreeReqBuffer())!

                       will remain the screen font.
    RTGS_Width       - (ULONG)
                       Width of requester window in pixels.  This is only a
                       suggestion. rtGetStringA() will not go below a certain
                       width.
    RTGS_AllowEmpty  - (BOOL)
                       If RTGS_AllowEmpty is TRUE an empty string will also
                       be accepted and returned.  Defaults to FALSE, meaning
                       that if the user enters an empty string the requester
                       will be canceled.
    RTGS_GadFmt      - (char *) [V38]
                       Using this tag you can offer the user several
                       responses.  See rtEZRequestA() for more information.
                       Note that selecting this gadget is considered a
                       positive response so the string in the gadget is
                       copied to 'buffer'.
    RTGS_GadFmtArgs  - (APTR) [V38]
                       If you used formatting codes with RTGS_GadFmt use this
                       tag to pass the arguments.
    RTGS_Invisible   - (BOOL) [V38]
                       Using this tag you can switch on invisible typing.
                       Very useful if you need to get something like a
                       password from the user.  It is strongly advised to use
                       an empty initial string or the user may get very
                       confused!  Default is FALSE.
    RTGS_BackFill    - (BOOL) [V38]
                       Backfill requester window with pattern.  Default TRUE.
    RTGS_TextFmt     - (char *) [V38]
                       Print these lines of text above the gadget in the
                       requester.  Very useful to inform the user of what
                       he should enter.  Most of the time you will also want
                       to set the GSREQF_CENTERTEXT flag.  If you set the
                       RTGS_BackFill tag to FALSE _no_ recessed border will
                       be placed around the text.  Formatting codes may be
                       used in the string (see RTGS_TextFmtArgs tag).
    RTGS_TextFmtArgs - (APTR) [V38]
                       If you used formatting codes with RTGS_TextFmt use
                       this tag to pass the arguments.
    RTGS_Flags       - (ULONG) [V38]
                         GSREQF_CENTERTEXT    - centers each line of text
                                                above the gadget in the
                                                requester window. Should
                                                be generally set.
                         GSREQF_HIGHLIGHTTEXT - Highlight text above the
                                                gadget. You will normally
                                                only want to use this if you
                                                also turned off the window
                                                backfilling.

                         your hook returns, ReqTools will reply the message.
                         So do not reply the message yourself!
    RT_Underscore      - (char) [V38]
                         Indicates the symbol that precedes the character in
                         a gadget's label to be underscored.  This will also
                         define the keyboard shortcut for this gadget.
                         Currently only needed for RTSC_OkText.  Usually set
                         to '_'.
    RT_DefaultFont     - (struct TextFont *)

                                                  gadget to the requester.
                                                  After the requester returns
                                                  you may read the overscan
                                                  type in 'rq->OverscanType'
                                                  If this is 0 no overscan is

                                                  gadgets the width and
                                                  height returned will be the
                                                  default width and height
                                                  for the selected overscan

                           SCREQF_DEPTHGAD      - Add a depth slider gadget
                                                  to the requester.  If you
                                                  do not add a depth gadget,
                                                  the depth returned will be
                                                  the maximum depth this mode
                                                  can be opened in.
                           SCREQF_NONSTDMODES   - Include all modes. Unless
                                                  this flag is set
                                                  rtScreenModeRequestA()
                                                  will exclude nonstandard
                                                  modes.  Nonstandard modes
                                                  are presently HAM and EHB
                                                  (ExtraHalfBrite). So unless
                                                  you are picking a mode to
                                                  do some rendering in leave
                                                  this flag unset.  Without
                                                  this flag set the mode
                                                  returned will be a normal
                                                  bitplaned mode.
                           SCREQF_GUIMODES      - Set this flag if you are
                                                  getting a screen mode to
                                                  open a user interface
                                                  screen in.  The modes
                                                  shown will be standard
                                                  modes with a high enough
                                                  resolution (minumum 640
                                                  pixels).  If this flag is
                                                  set the SCREQF_NONSTDMODES
                                                  flag is ignored.

    RTSC_OkText        - (char *)
                         Replacement text for "Ok" gadget, max 6 chars long.
    RTSC_MinWidth      - (UWORD)
                         The minimum display width allowed.
    RTSC_MaxWidth      - (UWORD)

    RTSC_MinDepth      - (UWORD)
                         The minimum display depth allowed.  Modes with a
                         minimum display depth lower than this value will not
                         be included in the list.
    RTSC_MaxDepth      - (UWORD)
                         The maximum display depth allowed.
    RTSC_PropertyFlags - (ULONG)
                         A mode must have these property flags to be
                         included.  Only bits set in RTSC_PropertyMask are
                         considered.
    RTSC_PropertyMask  - (ULONG)
                         Mask to apply to RTSC_PropertyFlags to determine
                         which bits to consider.  See use of 'newsignals' and
                         'signalmask' in exec.library/SetSignal().  Default
                         is to consider all bits in RTSC_PropertyFlags as
                         significant.
    RTSC_FilterFunc    - (struct Hook *)
                         Call this hook for each display mode id in the
                         system's list.
                         Parameters are as follows:
                           A0 - (struct Hook *) your hook
                           A2 - (struct rtScreenModeRequester *) your req
                           A1 - (ULONG) 32-bit extended mode id
                         If your hook returns TRUE the mode will be accepted.
                         If it returns FALSE the mode will be skipped and
                         will not appear in the requester.
