PmForeColor

Set window's RGB and index fields with palette colors

#include <Palettes.h> Palette Manager

void PmForeColor( destEntry );

short destEntry ; a specified color value for a field

PmForeColor sets the current window's RGB and index ForeColor fields by

taking the appropriate colors from the window's palette and putting them in the

specified destEntry.

destEntry is the particular field being set with the specified color from the

palette.

Notes: This routine is a way of using your window's color palette to set its own RGB

and index ForeColor fields. If the usage you want an entry to have is going to be

tolerant or courteous, PmForeColor substitutes for a call to RGBForeColor by

using the RGB color in the window's palette.

An animating color will be selected and installed from the recorded device

index you've already set aside for animation, with the ForeColor field given the

same value as the palette entry. For explicit colors, a MaxIndex comprising the

largest index available in the device's color look-up table is used to calculate

( destEntry modulo ( MaxIndex+1 ) ). MaxIndex will be different for screens

with different depths when a window stretches across multiple devices and

PmForeColor will take care of the variations for you.
