What does this function do in Visual Foxpro?

What does the getcolor() function do? It returns some random number for me. Even does the color change with this function.

Solution

  • From the (Visual Foxpro 9) help file:

    Displays the Windows Color dialog box and returns the color number of the chosen color. GETCOLOR([nDefaultColorNumber])

    Parameters nDefaultColorNumber

    Specifies the color that is initially selected when the Color dialog box is displayed. If nDefaultColorNumber doesn't correspond to a color in the Color dialog box, the first color in the Color dialog box is selected. If you omit nDefaultColorNumber, black is selected.
