{{DISPLAYTITLE:_DISPLAY (function)}}
The [[_DISPLAY]] function returns the handle of the current image that is displayed on the screen.


{{PageSyntax}}
:{{Parameter|currentImage&amp;}} = [[_DISPLAY]]


{{PageDescription}}
* Returns the current image handle value that is being displayed. Returns 0 if in the default [[SCREEN|screen]] image.
* Not to be confused with the [[_DISPLAY]] statement that displays the screen when not using [[_AUTODISPLAY]].


{{PageExamples}}
''Example:'' Creating a mouse cursor using a page number that '''you create''' in memory without setting up page flipping.
{{CodeStart}}
{{Cl|SCREEN}} {{Cl|_NEWIMAGE}}(640, 480, 32) 'any graphics mode should work without setting up pages
{{Cl|_MOUSEHIDE}}
SetupCursor
{{Cl|PRINT}} "Hello World!"
{{Cl|DO}}: {{Cl|_LIMIT}} 30
  {{Cl|DO}} {{Cl|WHILE}} {{Cl|_MOUSEINPUT}}: {{Cl|LOOP}} 'main loop must contain _MOUSEINPUT   
'       other program code    
{{Cl|LOOP}}

{{Cl|SUB}} SetupCursor
{{Cl|ON TIMER(n)|ON TIMER}}(0.02) UpdateCursor
{{Cl|TIMER}} ON
{{Cl|END SUB}}

{{Cl|SUB}} UpdateCursor
{{Cl|PCOPY}} {{Cl|_DISPLAY (function)|_DISPLAY}}, 100  'any page number as desination with the _DISPLAY function as source
{{Cl|PSET}} ({{Cl|_MOUSEX}}, {{Cl|_MOUSEY}}), {{Cl|_RGB}}(0, 255, 0)
{{Cl|DRAW}} "ND10F10L3F5L4H5L3"
{{Cl|_DISPLAY}}                  'statement shows image
{{Cl|PCOPY}} 100, {{Cl|_DISPLAY (function)|_DISPLAY}} 'with the function return as destination page
{{Cl|END SUB}} '' ''
{{CodeEnd}}
''Note:'' Works with the '''_DISPLAY function''' return as the other page. If mouse reads are not crucial, put the [[_MOUSEINPUT]] loop inside of the UpdateCursor SUB.
