Colour Strings and Attributes:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
In TSDWIN, a Clipper colour string is the return value of the
SETCOLOR() function. A Clipper colour attribute WILL ALWAYS BE ONE
PORTION OF THAT STRING, eg.,
For the Clipper colour string: "W+/B,GR+/R,,,B/W"
The colour attributes are : "W+/B", "GR+/R" and "B/W"
The distinction is made necessary by the requirement to refer to
colour attributes by number within the library.
Be careful when using SETBLINK(). If it is set to FALSE,
SETCOLOR() returns the colour string as if it were set to TRUE. A
fix for this will come later, in the twVattr and twSattr
functions. It is supposed to help if, when using high intensity
backgrounds, you express them as, for instance: "n/*bg" and not
""n/bg*"
For TSDWIN's browses, you can pass a colour string like
"w+/b,gr+/r,,bg+/r,n/w". TSDWIN can use this for the window
colour, as a SETCOLOR(), and for the colorspec within a browse. In
browses, the fourth element in the list is commonly used for the
colorspec of frozen columns. Scroll bars are defaulted to the main
frame colour. Frame colours default to the Clipper standard colour
of the current window colour if not specifically passed.
