ELLIPSE( x ,y ,width ,height [,fill] [,attributelist])
| ELLIPSE | Draws an ellipse on the current window or report. |
| X | An integer expression that specifies the horizontal position of the starting point. |
| Y | An integer expression that specifies the vertical position of the starting point. |
| Width | An integer expression that specifies the width. |
| Height | An integer expression that specifies the height. |
| Fill | A LONG integer constant, constant EQUATE, or variable containing the red, green, and blue components that create the color in the three low-order bytes (bytes 0, 1, and 2) or an EQUATE for a standard Windows color value. |
| attributelist | A string constant, variable, or EQUATE containing an optional type of output document and its associated attributes. Only valid when the target is a REPORT. See EXTEND |
The ELLIPSE procedure places an ellipse on the current window or report. This procedure is valid in Clarion Win32 Windows, and also for REPORT structures in both Clarion Win32 and Clarion#. The ellipse is drawn inside a “bounding box” defined by the x, y, width, and height parameters. The x and y parameters specify the starting point, and the width and height parameters specify the horizontal and vertical size of the “bounding box.”
The border color is the current pen color set by SETPENCOLOR; the default color is the Windows system color for window text. The border width is the current width set by SETPENWIDTH; the default width is one pixel. The border style is the current pen style set by SETPENSTYLE; the default style is a solid line.
Example:
MDIChild WINDOW('Child One'),AT(0,0,320,200),MDI,MAX,HVSCROLL
!window controls
