_DEFAULTCOLOR - mkilgore/QB64pe GitHub Wiki

The _DEFAULTCOLOR function returns the current default text color for an image handle or page.

result& = _DEFAULTCOLOR [(imageHandle&)]

• If imageHandle& is omitted, it is assumed to be the current write page or image designated by _DEST.
• If imageHandle& is an invalid handle, an invalid handle error occurs. Check handle values first.
• Default foreground colors are: SCREEN 0 = 7, SCREEN 1 and 10 = 3, SCREEN 2 and 11 = 1. All other SCREENs = 15.

Example: The default color is the color assigned to the text foreground. The SCREEN 12 default is COLOR 15.
