OBJECT Get border style 


 

OBJECT Get border style ( {* ;} object ) -> Function result 
Parameter Type   Description
Operator in If specified, object is an object name (string) If omitted, object is a field or variable
object  Form object in Object name (if * is specified) or
Field or variable (if * is omitted)
Function result  Longint in Border line style

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:

Constant Type Value Comment
Border Dotted Longint 2 Objects appear framed with a dotted 1-pt. border line
Border Double Longint 5 Objects appear framed with a double line, i.e., two continuous 1-pt. lines separated by a pixel
Border None Longint 0 Objects appear with no border
Border Plain Longint 1 Objects appear framed with a continuous 1-pt. border line
Border Raised Longint 3 Objects appear framed with a 3D effect (raised)
Border Sunken Longint 4 Objects appear framed with a sunken 3D effect
Border System Longint 6 The border line is drawn based on the graphic specifications of the system
