BORDER
------
Although syntactically supported in the SET COLOR TO... command,
Clipper does not actually set the border color to the specified
color. BORDER provides this functionality to standard color (CGA)
and the new VGA monitors. EGA standards do not allow for border
color support but some EGA's will support them.
This function can either accept a standard Clipper color string or
an individual color string to set the border color.
Format:
border(aColor)
Parameters:
aColor....Character string variable or constant, non case
sensitive, which contains the color to use when
setting the border. Must be the alpha
representation of the color, the numeric will be
rejected. If the string is a standard Clipper color
command (eg. 'W/N,N/W,R,,N/W') the function will
locate the border color within the string position
as specified in the Clipper documentation.
Otherwise the function assumed the color for the
border is the string (eg. 'r').
(valid colors)
black N
blue B
green G
cyan BG
red R
magenta RB
brown GR
white W
Examples:
1. Set the colors, including the border, to a nice shade of
blue.
