The _BACKGROUNDCOLOR function returns the current background color for an image handle or page.
Syntax
- col~& = _BACKGROUNDCOLOR [(imageHandle&)]
Parameters
- If imageHandle& is omitted, it is assumed to be the current write page or image designated by _DEST.
- If imageHandle& is an invalid handle, an Invalid handle error occurs. Check handle values first. Zero designates the current screen.
Description
- Use it to get the current background color to restore it later in a program.
- In legacy SCREEN modes and in _NEWIMAGE 256 colors mode the color attribute/palette index is returned.
- In _NEWIMAGE 32-bit mode the _RGBA32 value (&H00000000 to &HFFFFFFFF) is returend, make sure to store it in an _UNSIGNED LONG variable (as seen in the syntax above with the ~& suffix), otherwise the blue component may be lost.
Examples
- Example
- Storing the background color for later use.
SCREEN 0 COLOR 1, 3 'set color 1 as foreground, color 3 as background CLS col~& = _BACKGROUNDCOLOR PRINT col~& |
