The OBJECT Get border style command returns the border line style of the object(s) designated by the object and * parameters.
You can set the border line style for an object in Design mode using the Property List, or using the OBJECT SET BORDER STYLE command.
Passing the optional * parameter indicates that the object parameter is an object name (string). If you do not pass this parameter, it indicates that the object parameter is a field or variable. In this case, you pass a field or variable reference instead of a string (field or variable object only).
The command returns a value corresponding to the border line style. You can compare the value received with the following constants, found in the "Form Objects (Properties)" theme:
