Syntax Syntax 1: DEF SETWINDOWBACKGROUND Syntax 2: DEF SETWINDOWBACKGROUND Revised February, 2002 (Release 6) Description Using Syntax 1, this sets the output window's background to be auto-refreshing. It even maintains the background after the closing of an edit field or button without requiring a window update. This also insures that the proper background is used whether your application is operating in OS 9 or X. This only works with the Appearance Runtime. Syntax 2 is used to set a background color for the window. The color is a standard RGBcolor record. The applyNowBool parameter is non-zero if the window is to be updated immediately and false if the change will take place the next time anything is drawn in the window. Acceptable values for the _backgroundconstant are: _kThemeActiveDialogBackgroundBrush ( 1) _kThemeInactiveDialogBackgroundBrush ( 2) _kThemeActiveAlertBackgroundBrush ( 3) _kThemeInactiveAlertBackgroundBrush ( 4) _kThemeActiveModelessDialogBackgroundBrush ( 5) _kThemeInactiveModelessDialogBackgroundBrush ( 6) _kThemeActiveUtilityWindowBackgroundBrush ( 7) _kThemeInactiveUtilityWindowBackgroundBrush ( 8) _kThemeListViewSortColumnBackgroundBrush ( 9) _kThemeListViewBackgroundBrush (10) _kThemeIconLabelBackgroundBrush (11) _kThemeListViewSeparatorBrush (12) _kThemeChasingArrowsBrush (13) _kThemeDragHiliteBrush (14) _kThemeDocumentWindowBackgroundBrush (15) _kThemeFinderWindowBackgroundBrush (16) Example: The following code builds a window and sets the background. If the same code were run under system 9, the window with the theme background would be solid gray.
