None
This example makes the backdrop character an asterisk. The backdrop attribute is set to a red foreground on a blue background.
move "*" to ppb-fill-character. move x"14" to ppb-fill-attribute. move pf-set-screen-backdrop to ppb-function. call "PANELS" using panels-parameter-block. if ppb-status not = zero * (code to abort)
Comments:
This function does not automatically update the screen; it merely defines the backdrop character and attribute to Panels. You must redraw the screen using PF-Redraw-Screen before the changed backdrop character and attribute are displayed.
