gBackground (Function)

In french: gFond

Builds a sequence of characters used to define the display color (background color of a text, circle, rectangle, ...).

In a window, this sequence of characters is used to define the background color of a text or shape (rectangle or circle):

in an element found in a List Box or Combo Box control.
in the title bar and/or status bar of a window.
in a Static control.

Remark: To use a gradient color, call gBackgroundGradient.

Example

// Add the word "Yellow" on a yellow background into "LIST_ColorList"
ListAdd(LIST_ColorList, gBackground(LightYellow) + "Yellow")

Syntax

<Result> = gBackground(<Color>)

<Result>: Character string

Sequence of characters defining the background color of the text, circle, rectangle, ...
This sequence of characters can be:
used in ListAdd, ListInsert or ListModify.
assigned to a Static control.
used in the title bar or status bar of a window.
This sequence of characters is not interpreted by the controls in WEBDEV. This function can be used to format the string returned by a WEBDEV Webservice consumed by a WINDEV or WINDEV Mobile application.

<Color>: Integer or constant

Display color for the background of the text or for the inside section of a shape (rectangle or circle). This color can correspond to:
an RGB color (returned by RGB),
an HSL color (returned by HSL),
a WLanguage preset color.
the Transparent constant (used to overlay a text and a graphic for example).
