Description
You can use this to set the background colour used in world.note and world.tell. The colour is specified in RGB (Red, Green, Blue). Red is in the low-order byte, Green in the middle-order byte, and Blue in the higher-order byte. (ie. 0x00BBGGRR).
If you are setting the colour you must specify an RGB value. Some pre-defined values are available in VBscript, see below.
Constant Value Description
-------------------------------
vbBlack &h00 Black
vbRed &hFF Red
vbGreen &hFF00 Green
vbYellow &hFFFF Yellow
vbBlue &hFF0000 Blue
vbMagenta &hFF00FF Magenta
vbCyan &hFFFF00 Cyan
vbWhite &hFFFFFF White
In JScript you will need to use the RGB values, for example Magenta would be: 0xFF00FF.
VBscript example
world.notecolourback = vbRed ' set note background colour to red
world.note "This will be on a red background"
world.note world.notecolourback ' display current note background colour
Jscript example
world.notecolourback = 0xFF; // set note colour to use red background
world.note("This will be on a red background");
world.note(world.notecolourback); // display current note background colour
PerlScript example
$world->{notecolourback} = 0xFF; # set note colour to use red background
$world->note("This will be on a red background");
$world->note($world->{notecolourback}); # display current note background colour
Python example
world.notecolourback = 0xFF # set note colour to use red background
world.note("This will be on a red background")
world.note(world.notecolourback) # display current note background colour
Lua example
SetNoteColourBack (255) -- set note colour to use red background
Note ("This will be on a red background")
Note(GetNoteColourBack ()) -- display current note background colour
Lua notes
Lua implements this as two functions:
GetNoteColourBack - gets the note colour background
SetNoteColourBack - sets the note colour background
Return value
This is a property. You can use it to find the current note background colour.
