Function name : FillConsoleOutputAttribute

Group: Console - Library: kernel32

The FillConsoleOutputAttribute function sets the character attributes for a specified number of character cells, beginning at the specified coordinates in a screen buffer.

Code examples:

Creating a console window for Visual FoxPro application

Declaration:

BOOL FillConsoleOutputAttribute(
  HANDLE hConsoleOutput,
  WORD wAttribute,
  DWORD nLength,
  COORD dwWriteCoord,
  LPDWORD lpNumberOfAttrsWritten
);

FoxPro declaration:

DECLARE INTEGER FillConsoleOutputAttribute IN kernel32;
	INTEGER hConsoleOutput,;
	SHORT   wAttribute,;
	INTEGER nLength,;
	SHORT   x,;
	SHORT   y,;
	INTEGER lpNumberOfAttrsWritten

Parameters:

hConsoleOutput [in] Handle to a console screen buffer.

wAttribute [in] Attributes to use when writing to the console screen buffer.

nLength [in] Number of character cells to be set to the specified color attributes.

dwWriteCoord [in] A COORD structure that specifies the console screen buffer coordinates of the first cell whose attributes are to be set.

lpNumberOfAttrsWritten [out] Pointer to a variable that receives the number of character cells whose attributes were actually set.

Return value:

If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.

Comments:

Normally I would declare COORD dwWriteCoord as STRING @dwCursorPosition. It did not work this way. Fortunately SHORT, SHORT does the job.
