cobjapi - having problems with foreground color

[Rich Di Iulio]

Hi All!

I am trying to create a frame with a background and foreground using RGB. I am able to get the background color set. I cannot get the foreground color set. I have attached a test program that has all the variables in it.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Perhaps supply the copy modules as well and we may help. cobjapi stuff.

[Rich Di Iulio]

I did not supply the Cobjapi, as I assume you would have to install and configure before compiling the source code.

OK fair enough - can't help you sorry - I have no ideas about whatever cobjapi is.

David,

Thank you for responding and trying to help.

Hi,

I am not sure what you mean by foreground color, i tested your program and made small changes, i hope it is what you wanted to do.

thom,

Thank you, that is exactly what I wanted to do. I still get mixed up between RM/COBOL and GnuCOBOL. Again thanks.

Can you please try to setup a "differences" list and possibly a "port notes" doc [no need to be 100%, but a starter somewhere would be good]?

Simon,

Thank you for responding. My problem was that I still support a RM/COBOL application on SCO OpenServer 5. So going back and forth, I sometimes get mixed up. Then I get caught in a loop and get messed up. I am working on a cross-platform GUI program in GnuCOBOL using Cobjapi. RM/COBOL is terminal screens.

Hi,
you can use also the functions J-GETSCREENWIDTH, J-GETSCREENHEIGHT and so position the frame. I have now added an example (frame2.cob) for this to COBJAPI.
