SCREENATTR()
Determines the attribute at a particular position
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
SCREENATTR([<nRow>], [<nColumn>]) --> nAttr
Arguments
<nRow> Designates the line from which to determine the attribute.
The default is the cursor line.
<nColumn> Designates the column from which to determine the
attribute. The default is the cursor column.
Returns
SCREENATTR() returns the attribute at the designated position.
Description
SCREENATTR() returns the current screen attribute at <nRow> and
<nColumn>. You can query targeted attributes this way and save them to
use later, or process them later with INVERTATTR().
Note
. If no parameters are passed, the current cursor position is
queried.
Examples
. The attribute for the current cursor position:
nVar:= SCREENATTR()
. The attribute at the current column position in line 23:
nVar:= SCREENATTR(23)
. The attribute at column 70, line 23:
nVar:= SCREENATTR(23, 70)
