.\} .\} form_field_attributes - color and attribute control for form fields

#include <form.h>

int set_field_fore(FIELD *field, chtype attr);
chtype field_fore(const FIELD *field);

int set_field_back(FIELD *field, chtype attr);
chtype field_back(const FIELD *field);

int set_field_pad(FIELD *field, int pad);
int field_pad(const FIELD *field);

The function set_field_fore sets the foreground attribute of field. This is the highlight used to display the field contents. The function field_fore returns the foreground attribute. The default is A_STANDOUT.

The function set_field_back sets the background attribute of form. This is the highlight used to display the extent fields in the form. The function field_back returns the background attribute. The default is A_NORMAL.

The function set_field_pad sets the character used to fill the field. The function field_pad returns the given form's pad character. The default is a blank.

These routines return one of the following:

5 E_OK The routine succeeded.

5 E_BAD_ARGUMENT Routine detected an incorrect or out-of-range argument.

5 E_SYSTEM_ERROR System error occurred (see errno(3)).

These routines emulate the System V forms library. They were not supported on Version 7 or BSD versions. Juergen Pfeifer. Manual pages and adaptation for new curses by Eric S. Raymond. \%curses(3X) and related pages whose names begin \*(``form_\*('' for detailed descriptions of the entry points.
