Function name : GetSysColor

Group: System Information - Library: user32

Retrieves the current color of the specified display element. Display elements are the parts of a window and the Windows display that appear on the system display screen

Code examples:

Using GetSysColor
Changing system colors

Declaration:

DWORD GetSysColor(
	int  nIndex 	// display element
);

FoxPro declaration:

DECLARE INTEGER GetSysColor IN user32 INTEGER nIndex

Parameters:

nIndex Specifies the display element whose color is to be retrieved

Return value:

If the function succeeds, the return value is the red, green, blue (RGB) color value that specifies the color of the given element

Comments:

Some constants are not availble for Win9 or otherwise for WinNT. The "reverse" function is SetSysColors. Note the difference: GetSysColor restores one color at a time; SetSysColors function allows to change several colors at once
