_WAttr( ) API Library Routine

Returns the attribute byte for the specified color index in the specified window's color scheme.

int _WAttr(WHANDLE wh, int color)
WHANDLE wh;            /* Window handle. */
int color;                     /* Color index. */

Example

The following example goes through each color of each color scheme, showing its attribute byte as returned by _WAttr( ).
