The Drawing Controls
The toolbox includes these two drawing tools:
- Line control: Draws straight lines between two
points you specify.
- Shape control: Draws different shapes based on
the criteria you specify in the property value.
The Line Control
This control is very useful as it can be used to
underline and highlight important text. If you double
click the line control, VB places a line in the center
of your form with two sizing handles. Following are
some important properties of the line control:
- BorderColor: It determines the line's color.
- BorderStyle: It determines the line's format (transparent,
solid, dashed, etc.)
- BorderWidth: It determines the line's width in
points.
- X1, Y1, X2, Y2: Determine the line's starting
& ending coordinates.
The BorderWidth property must be 1 for the BorderStyle
to show up on your line. |
