NTOCOLOR()
Converts a numeric value into a color value in the NN/NN or CC/CC form
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
NTOCOLOR(<nAttr>, [<lColorCode>]) --> cAttr
Arguments
<nAttr> Designates the value for the combined numeric color
attributes.
<lColorCode> If designated as .F. or if the parameter is omitted,
NTOCOLOR() returns a string with a numeric color code. When designated
as .T., NTOCOLOR() returns a string with the CA-Clipper alpha color
coding.
Returns
NTOCOLOR() returns the designated color attribute in the NN/NN or CC/CC
form.
Description
NTOCOLOR() converts a color attribute returned from another function in
numeric form, into the alphanumeric data format. Use this attribute in
conjunction with the CA-Clipper SET COLOR TO command.
Notes
. NTOCOLOR() returns a null string if the specified attributes
are invalid or unavailable attributes. Acceptable values are in the
range of 0 and 255.
. You cannot specify color attributes in letter format (e.g.,
"B/W") .
Examples
. Normal display (white on black):
? NTOCOLOR(7) // 07/00
? NTOCOLOR(7, .T.) // W/N
. Display red on white. The numeric form 116 yields "04/07":
? NTOCOLOR(116) // 04/07
? NTOCOLOR(116) // R/W
. An invalid parameter returns a null string:
? NTOCOLOR(380) // ""
? NTOCOLOR(-1) // ""
