This function is provided so that programmers can find out what relief, font and foreground and background colors are used by the various widgets that the widgetserver delivers. Generally, just the name of the widget needs to be supplied as a string argument. In the special case of 'button' widgets, an additional argument is given so that the type of the button can be specified. The function returns a record whose fields (upto four of them) contain the resources used by the widget.

Example

rec := dws.resources('button', 'action');
print rec.background;
