WSETSHADOW()
Sets the window shadow colors
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
WSETSHADOW([<cAttribute>]) --> nOldAttribute
Argument
<cAttribute> Designates the color attribute for window shadows. It
can be represented as a numeric string ("nn/nn") or as a color string
("cc/cc"). A value of -1 turns off the shadow display.
() When you call the function without parameters, it returns the
current shadow color setting.
Returns
WSETSHADOW() returns the previously set shadow color, or it returns -1
if no shadow color has been set.
Description
WSETSHADOW() sets individual color attributes for shadows of every
window, which are displayed below and to the right of each window. The
WSETSHADOW() setting then applies to all subsequently opened windows.
Notes
. When you use shadows, the window screen area is erased during
opening.
. The proportions of the right and lower shadows are adapted to
the height of the characters. For example, the proportion is 2:1
with 25 rows; and the proportion is 1:1 with 50 rows.
Example
In order to experiment with shadows, you should first fill the screen
with a character like CHR(176):
SETCLEARB(176)
CLEAR // Fill screen with CHR(176)
WSETSHADOW("N+") // Gray shadows
WOPEN(1, 1, 10, 50)
WBOX()
WSETSHADOW(-1) // Switch shadow display off
WOPEN(15, 1, 20, 50)
WBOX()
INKEY(0) // Switch on move mode using
// SCROLL-LOCK
WACLOSE()
