    Install a new video driver.

    Declaration

    Source position: videoh.inc line 196

    function SetVideoDriver(const Driver: TVideoDriver) : Boolean;

    Description

    SetVideoDriver sets the videodriver to be used to Driver. If the current videodriver is initialized (after a call to InitVideo) then it does nothing and returns False.

    A new driver can only be installed if the previous driver was not yet activated (i.e. before a call to InitVideo) or after it was deactivated (i.e after a call to DoneVideo).

    For more information about installing a videodriver, see viddriver.

    For an example, see the section on writing a custom video driver.

    Errors

    If the current driver is initialized, then False is returned.
