HANDBOOK from page 2
Overriding Defaults
The following output and objectdefinition commands have the optional COLOR <color pair list> and COLOR SCHEME <scheme number> dauses to let you specify a color scheme literally or by number for that command only.
@...FILL @...GET
@...SAY
@ TO BROWSE
CHANGE
DEFINE POPUP
DEFINE WINDOW Edit
The COLOR and COLOR SCHEME options override the default color scheme that the command would normally use, without actually changing
the default scheme. For example, if you had two different types of user windows, you might want to create one type using a color scheme different from number 1, the default.
*
Define window with a scheme
other than number 1.
DEFINE WINDOW foo FROM 5,5 TO 10,20 COLOR SCHEME 13
Default colors can be overridden either with literal color pairs or a different scheme number. For portability and ease of program maintenance, it is always best to use predefmed schemes and reference them by number.
*
Non-portable.
@...SAY <text> COLOR W+/G
*
Portable.
@...SAY <text> COLOR SCHEME 2 The COLOR and COLOR SCHEME
options must execute last on the command line. COLOR takes a different
number of color pairs depending on the command.
Use IscoLoR() to discover whether the machine is operating with a color or monochrome display adapter.
