working with LOCATE cursor

[NOVARSEG]

Trying to get the LOCATE cursor working with larger screen

LOCATE 26, 27: PRINT "A"
LOCATE 26, 27, 1, 31, 31
see the cursor blinking under the A but I want to make the screen larger and still see the cursor
*****
This works but what about other screen modes / sizes?
_FULLSCREEN
LOCATE 26, 27: PRINT "A"
LOCATE 26, 27, 1, 31, 3

*****
For example

SCREEN _NEWIMAGE(1024, 768, 32)
LOCATE 26, 27: PRINT "A"
LOCATE 26, 27, 1, 31, 31

shows the letter but not the cursor

****
Whoops sorry this works

_FULLSCREEN

LOCATE 26, 27, 0
PRINT "A"
LOCATE 26, 27, 1, 31, 31


DO
    IF INKEY$ <> "" THEN EXIT DO
LOOP

some code to try

Code: QB64: [Select]

1. _TITLE "Move cursor with LOCATE.  Press ESC to exit"
2.  
3. _FULLSCREEN
4.  
5. LOCATE 26, 27, 0
6. PRINT "A"
7. LOCATE 26, 27, 1, 31, 31
8.  
9. _DELAY 2
10.  
11. LOCATE 26, 28, 0
12. PRINT "A"
13. LOCATE 26, 28, 1, 31, 31
14.  
15. _DELAY 2
16.  
17. DO
18.     IF INKEY$ <> "" THEN EXIT DO
19.  
20.     _DELAY 1
21.     LOCATE 26, 27, 1, 31, 31
22.     _DELAY 1
23.     LOCATE 26, 28, 1, 31, 31
24.     _DELAY 1
25.     LOCATE 26, 29, 1, 31, 31
26.  
27. LOOP
28.  
29. END

I use...

Cursor hide: LOCATE , , 0
Cursor show: LOCATE , , 1

Also I use use LOCATE , , 1, 7, 0 (hide) LOCATE , , 1, 7, 7 (underline) or LOCATE , , 1, 7, 30 (block) or LOCATE , , 1, 7, 2 (rectangle).

There are other end values that affect the cursor height. 8 is double of 7 and 9 is triple of 7, a fairly thick underscore. 10 is the same as 30. 2 is a tall block. Since some of the numbers produce the same results like 30 and 31, I suppose it's just up to the user to pick a preference.
