============
|
|
13
|
Specifies a video attribute or color.
|
|
14
|
In Progress Version 7 and later, the COLOR phrase is superceded by the
|
|
15
|
FGCOLOR and BGCOLOR options in graphical user interfaces and by the
|
|
16
|
PFCOLOR and DCOLOR options in character interfaces.
|
|
17
|
The COLOR phrase is supported only for backward compatibility.

? Windows ? On a color monitor, the default colors are a blue background and a white
|
|
20
|
foreground. On a monochrome monitor, the default colors are a standard background
|
|
21
|
and foreground, depending on the monitor.
|
|
22
|
? UNIX ?The default colors are the normal display mode of your terminal.

CAUTION: The Progress Application Development Environment (ADE) reserves these 16
|
|
53
|
colors (0 through 15) defined in your environment. If you change the mappings of
|
|
54
|
these colors, the ADE tools might not function properly. You can add your own
|
|
55
|
application colors beginning with number 16.

Color in Character Interfaces
|
|
58
|
=============================
|
|
59
|
Color in a character interface differs from color in a graphical interface in these ways:
|
|
60
|
? In character interfaces, the BGCOLOR and FGCOLOR attributes have the unknown value (?).
|
|
61
|
? Each location in the color table contains a foreground/background color pair.
|
|
62
|
? DCOLOR specifies a foreground/background color pair that a widget uses when it displays data.
|
|
63
|
? PFCOLOR specifies a foreground/background color pair that a widget uses when it prompts for data.
|
|
64
|
When designing your interface, make sure that you specify different color pairs for DCOLOR and PFCOLOR.
|
|
65
|
|
|
66
|
Color Specification
|
|
67
|
===================
|
|
68
|
In character interfaces, Progress reserves color table locations 0 through 4 for the following foreground/background color pairs:
|
|
69
|
? Color 0 holds colors used as the NORMAL color by Progress.
|
|
70
|
? Color 1 holds the colors used as the INPUT color by Progress. As installed, this is underline mode.
|
|
71
|
? Color 2 holds the colors used as the MESSAGE color by Progress. As installed, this is reverse video.
|
|
72
|
? Color 3 holds the colors used for high-intensity mode. This mode is not available for all terminals.
|
|
73
|
? Color 4 holds the colors used for blink mode. This mode is not available for all terminals.
|
|
74
|
By default, text-input widgets use the INPUT colors when in prompt-for mode.
|
|
75
|
Note, however, that when displaying an editor widget with scroll bars to display read-only text, using
|
|
76
|
NORMAL rather than INPUT for prompt-for mode might make more visual sense to the user.
|
|
77
|
In the PROTERMCAP file, you can specify additional application color pairs from color 5 to 127.
