Purpose
Returns the Brush (fill) style currently in use. You can call this function from the MapBasic window in MapInfo Pro.
Syntax
CurrentBrush()Return Value
Brush
Description
The CurrentBrush() function returns the current Brush style. This corresponds to the fill style displayed in the Region Style dialog box. MapInfo Pro assigns the current Brush value to any filled objects (ellipses, rectangles, rounded rectangles, or regions) drawn by the user. If a MapBasic program creates a filled object through a statement such as the Create Region statement, but the statement does not include a Brush clause, the object will be assigned the current Brush value.
The return value of the CurrentBrush() function can be assigned to a Brush variable, or may be used as a parameter within a statement that takes a Brush setting as a parameter (such as Set Map statement or Shade statement).
To extract specific Brush attributes (such as the color), call the StyleAttr() function.
For more information about Brush settings, see Brush clause.
