FT_RESTATT()
Restore the attribute bytes of a specified screen region.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
FT_RESTATT( <nTop>, <nLeft>, <nBottom>, <nRight>, <cAttributes> ) -> NIL
Arguments
<nTop>, <nLeft>, <nBottom>, and <nRight> define the screen region.
<cAttributes> is a character string containing the attribute bytes
for the screen region. This will most often be a string
previously returned by FT_SAVEATT(), but any character
string may be used (provided it is of the proper size).
Returns
NIL
Description
This function is similar to Clipper's RestScreen(), except that it only
restores the attribute bytes. This is useful if you want to change the
screen color without affecting the text.
*** INTERNALS ALERT ***
This function calls the Clipper internals __gtSave and __gtRest to
manipulate the the screen image. If you're too gutless to use
internals, then this function isn't for you.
Examples
// Restore attributes of row 4
FT_RESTATT( 4, 0, 4, maxcol(), cBuffer)
// Restore attributes to middle of screen
FT_RESTATT(10,20,14,59,cBuffer)
