Total Access Components Tour: Border
The Border control lets you create rectangular frames with a variety of styles: standard, three-D, shadowed, and rounded.
Using the Border Control
There are six basic steps involved in using the Border custom control:
- Determine where on the form to put the border
- Place the control on the form at the appropriate position and adjust its size
- Set the border properties on the property sheet
- Issue the Change to Picture command by right-clicking on the Border control and selecting the FMS Border Control Object|Change To Picture menu item
- Set the Enabled property to False
- Select Format|Send to Back
Change To Picture
Since it is unlikely your application needs to programmatically change the properties of a Border control at runtime, you should use the Access Change To Image operation on the Border controls you use. This results in a more efficient form that loads faster and uses less memory.
When you issue the Change To Image command, the Border controls uses the current Windows Color Depth setting. This means that if your Windows settings are set to 256 colors, the Border control is converted to a 256-color bitmap. If that 256-color bitmap is then displayed on a system set to 16-color mode, it is not display accurately. Because of this, you should set your system to 16-color mode before converting controls to pictures.
