Description

GuiReader() is a utility function of the Get system. It implements the standard READ behavior of individual Get objects and associated controls. User input is obtained with the Inkey() function.

Note:  the prefix Gui comes from Clipper 5.3 and may be misleading. It has nothing to do with a Graphical User Interface. All Gui functions of the Get system operate with Get objects associated with text mode controls that mimick true GUI controls, such as menus, check boxes or radio buttons, for example.
