The _DEFAULTCOLOR function returns the current default text color for an image handle or page.


Syntax

result& = _DEFAULTCOLOR [(imageHandle&)]


Description

  • 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.
  • Default foreground colors are: SCREEN 0 = 7, SCREEN 1 and 10 = 3, SCREEN 2 and 11 = 1. All other SCREENs = 15.


Examples

Example: The default color is the color assigned to the text foreground. The SCREEN 12 default is COLOR 15.

OUT &H3C8, 0: OUT &H3C9, 63: OUT &H3C9, 63: OUT &H3C9, 63  'assign background RGB intensities
OUT &H3C8, 8: OUT &H3C9, 0: OUT &H3C9, 0: OUT &H3C9, 0     'assign RGB intensities to COLOR 8
