OBJECT Get border style ( {* ;} object ) -> Function result

Parameter	Type	Description

Description

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
