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)). .
