selectallobjects
The selectallobjects statement selects all the graphic objects in the current form.
Parameters
No parameters.
Description
The selectallobjects statement will select all the graphic objects in the current form. (This is the same concept as going into graphics mode and choosing the Select All menu command.) After the objects are selected you can get information about them or change the attributes of certain objects. In other words, you can change forms on the fly.
This example will reduce the brightness of every object in the form by 20%.
