Equivalent to filling in the Patterns dialog
static int Patterns( unsigned short apattern, unsigned short afore, unsigned short aback ); |
apattern is a number corresponding to the area patterns in the Patterns tab of the Format Cells or Format Object dialog box. If an object is selected, apattern can be from 1 to 18; if a cell is selected, apattern can be from 0 to 18. If apattern is 0 and a cell is selected, Microsoft Excel applies no pattern.
afore is a number from 1 to 56 corresponding to the 56 area foreground colors in the Patterns tab of the Foramt Cells dialog box. afore is ignored if it is zero.
Note the foreground color has no effect if apattern is 1 (solid).
aback is a number from 1 to 56 corresponding to the 56 area foreground colors in the Patterns tab of the Foramt Cells dialog box. Afore is ignored if it is zero.
