CONVERT-3D-COLORS attribute

(Windows only)

Determines whether image colors are converted to the corresponding system 3D colors.

Return type:

LOGICAL

Access:

Readable/Writable

Applies to:

BUTTON widget, IMAGE widget

The default value of this attribute for a button is TRUE; the default value for an image is FALSE.

The CONVERT-3D-COLORS attribute can be set after a widget is realized, but it will not take effect until an image is loaded into the widget using one of the following methods: LOAD-IMAGE( ), LOAD-IMAGE-UP( ), LOAD-IMAGE-DOWN( ), or LOAD-IMAGE-INSENSITIVE( ).

If the CONVERT-3D-COLORS attribute is TRUE either when the widget is realized or when any of the LOAD-IMAGE methods is executed, the AVM will convert the shades of gray in the image after loading it. Table 74 identifies and describes the colors that are converted.
