Description

The SET COLOR OF <display area> TO <color> command controls predefined screen area groupings so that you can change color attributes of individual screen areas independent of one another. The following display areas are predefined.


Display Area Description
ALERT All error message alert boxes
BOX All boxes
BROWSE BROWSE work surface
BROWSEFRAME BROWSE frames
DIALOG Dialog boxes
DIALOG FRAME Frames around dialog boxes
FIELDS Normal display area like <standard>
GETFOCUS Current get field
HELP Message line
HIGHLIGHT Highlighted menu options
INFORMATION Status bar, clock, etc
MENUS Pulldown, pop-up menus
MESSAGES System message bar
NORMAL Normal screen output
SHADOWS Bottom and right edge of dialog boxes
TITLES Dialog box titles, DBEDIT() column titles, etc.


The SET COLOR OF SCHEME and SET COLOR SET commands have been added for syntax compatibility with FoxPro.


Example

// set menus to white
set color of menu to W
// use memory variables
foreground = "N"
background = "GR"
set color to (foreground + "/" + background)
