gRectangle (Function)

In french: gRectangle

Builds a sequence of characters used to draw a rectangle.

In a window, this sequence of characters is used to draw a rectangle:

in an element found in a List Box or Combo Box control.
in the title bar and/or status bar of a window.
in a Static control.

Example

// Draw a rectangle in an element of "LIST_Shape"
// The rectangle background is light green and the border is light yellow
ListAdd(LIST_Shape, gRectangle(0, 0, 25, 18, LightGreen, LightYellow))

Syntax

<Result> = gRectangle(<X1> , <Y1> , <X2> , <Y2> [, <Background color> [, <Line color>]])

<Result>: Character string

Sequence of characters used to draw a rectangle.
This sequence of characters can be:
used in ListAdd, ListInsert or ListModify.
assigned to a Static control.
used in the title bar or status bar of a window.
This sequence of characters is not interpreted by the controls in WEBDEV. This function can be used to format the string returned by a WEBDEV Webservice consumed by a WINDEV or WINDEV Mobile application.
