# ST\_INFCLRX

> [HTML Version](st_infclrx.htm)

_Added August 2013_

The ST\_INFCLRX structure (defined in INFLD.SDF) may be used for the _infclr_ parameter in place of the ST\_INFCLR structure to define arbitrary foreground and background (RGB) colors that will be used by INFLD when displaying and optionally when editing the field. The structure format is as follows:

defstruct ST\_INFCLRX

    map2 sig,s,2       \! must be set to "x1" to activate

    map2 flags,b,2     \! INFCLRXF\_EDTCLR (=1) to use d?rgb for edit also

    map2 dfrgb,b,4     \! display foreground

    map2 dbrgb,b,4     \! display background

endstruct



**Notes**

•	The sig member must be set to "x1" or the structure will be ignored. It allows A-Shell to distinguish between the ST\_INFCLRX structure and the old INFCLR structure, which is still supported. You may set it to "" if you are passing the new structure but want to continue to use the default color logic.

•	The d?rgb colors are used when INFLD displays the field, either after or instead of editing, and also when "editing" read-only fields. In addition, they will be used for editing other field types if the flags member is set to INFCLRXF\_EDTCLR (1).

•	To override only the background or only the foreground color, set the other color field to -2.

•	The new structure is intended for the GUI environment; for text mode programs, you should stick with the old INFCLR structure.

•	The ST\_INFCLRX structure is intended for the GUI environment; for text mode programs, you should stick with the original ST\_INFCLR structure (or omit the parameter entirely).
