Defining Color

Toolkit panel designs display in full color. Any color assignments you make within CA 2E are automatically converted to Toolkit. This is the recommended method for assigning color to Toolkit panel designs.

Note: Constants separated by a single space are treated as the same constant; as a result, constants share the color assignment given to the leftmost constant.

Alternatively, you can assign colors as you edit your panel design within Toolkit. To do so, position the cursor on the blank before the field to which you want to assign a color and press F16.

The following screen listing the available colors and attributes displays:

£ Blue q Highlight £ Green q Reverse Image £ Pink q Underline £ Red q Blink £ Turquoise q Column Separator £ White q nondisplay £ Yellow F3=Exit F12=Titles screen

On some terminals this screen will appear as shown below.

1 1. Blue Highlight 2. Green Reverse Image 3. Pink Underline 4. Red Blink 5. Turquoise Column Separator 6. White nondisplay 7. Yellow F3=Exit F12=Titles screen

Note: The mono display attributes display with an input field instead of a check box to the left of the attribute. You select attributes by entering a slash ( / ) in the corresponding input field. The slash is the default selection character; it is contained in the IBM i message, CPX5A0C, in the QCPFMSG file in the QSYS library.

Not all attributes are available for each color. The following table lists the valid combinations supported by DDS.
