Parameters

Input
Name Type Description
panelHandle int Specifier for a particular panel that is currently in memory. You can obtain this handle from functions such as LoadPanel and NewPanel.
controlID int The defined constant, located in the .uir header file, that you assigned to the control in the User Interface Editor, or the ID returned by functions such as NewCtrl and DuplicateCtrl.
itemIndex int Zero-based index of the tree item that contains the cell for which you want to get the attribute value.

Pass VAL_DFLT_FOR_NEW_OBJECTS to get the default attribute for cells created in the future in the specified column.
columnIndex int Zero-based index of the tree column that contains the cell for which you want to get the attribute value.
cellAttribute int The cell attribute whose value you want to obtain.

In the function panel, when you click the control or press <Enter>, <Spacebar>, or <Ctrl-down arrow>, a dialog box appears containing a hierarchical list of the available attributes. Attributes whose values cannot be obtained are dimmed. Help text is shown for each attribute. To select an attribute, double-click it or select it and then press <Enter>.

If the attribute shown in this ring control has named constants as valid values, you can open a list of them by moving to the Attribute Value control and pressing <Enter>. The Attribute Values dialog box displays the values and value help for the constants.
