Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Reporting:
Query/Results for UNIX

Determining the video attributes

Use the following shared variables in your procedures to determine the video attributes in effect when the user chooses the User option:

DEFINE SHARED VARIABLE qbf-dhi AS CHARACTER NO-UNDO. DEFINE SHARED VARIABLE qbf-dlo AS CHARACTER NO-UNDO. DEFINE SHARED VARIABLE qbf-mhi AS CHARACTER NO-UNDO. DEFINE SHARED VARIABLE qbf-mlo AS CHARACTER NO-UNDO. DEFINE SHARED VARIABLE qbf-phi AS CHARACTER NO-UNDO. DEFINE SHARED VARIABLE qbf-plo AS CHARACTER NO-UNDO.

Table 10–2 shows the functionality of these shared variables.

Table 10–2: Video attribute shared variables 

These shared variables...	Determine high and low intensity colors for...
qbf-dhi and qbf-dlo	The s-error.p and s-box.p dialog boxes
qbf-mhi and qbf-mlo	Menus
qbf-phi and qbf-plo	Scrolling lists

You can use these shared variables so your own programs include the same video attributes as the current Results application. See the "Using Results dialog box procedures in your applications" section for more information about these dialog boxes.
