# Print

### Signatures

```csharp
bool print(string text)
bool print(string text, u32 duration)
bool print(string text, u32 duration, bool forceClose)
```

### Description

Asynchronously queues a converted text to be displayed in a system window in the top-left corner of the screen for a given duration.

It doesn’t block the flow of execution and lets other tasks proceed without waiting for the function to complete.

Returns whether the operation was successful (`true`) or not (`false`).

If a window is open and the new message does not fit within it, the window will be closed and reopened.

### Arguments

#### Text

The converted text that will be displayed.

#### Duration

The duration, in milliseconds, for which the text will be displayed.

If set to `0` or omitted (same as `0`), the message will display for 2 seconds but will be removed early if another message is added to the queue.

Set to `0` by default.

#### Force Close

If set to `true`, forces the window to close and reopen even if the text fits within the window and reopening is unnecessary.

Set to `false` by default.

### Notes

{% hint style="info" %}
There are a total of 8 windows (0 -> 7) that can be used to simultaneously display several dialogues, shapes (textures), etc. at the same time.

This function uses window identifier 7 to display text.
{% endhint %}
