In graphical interfaces, ABL allows you to invoke native common
dialogs for color and font selection in ABL using the SYSTEM–DIALOG
COLOR and the SYSTEM–DIALOG FONT statements.
Using these dialogs, you can allow the user to choose a new value
for a color or font number. Once the user chooses a value, ABL stores
the choice in the color or font table location specified by the
number. All visible widgets defined with the specified color or font
number immediately redisplay according to the user selection.
