Remarks
The BorderColors property sets the colors for the control when its Border property has been set to Custom Thick or Custom Thin. If it is a Custom Thick border, then the border is 2-pixels wide and you can set the outer pixels and inner pixels independently. If it is a Custom Thin border, then only the outer pixel color is used and the inner color is ignored. You are not limited to solid colors. Each border can be set to a valid ColorFill string, so you can even apply gradients.
Example
// Set the control's border to be a thick custom one Set_Property(@Window:".OLE_CONTROL", "OLE.Border", "Custom Thick") // Now define the custom colors Colors = "" Colors<1> = "Green" :@VM:"Window" ; // Normal State Colors<2> = "Green" :@VM:"Green" ; // Focus State Colors<3> = "Green" :@VM:"Green" ; // Hot State Colors<4> = "3DShadow":@VM:"3DFace" ; // Disabled State // And set them Set_Property(@Window:".OLE_CONTROL", "OLE.BorderColors", Colors)
