| Allegro CL version 8.2 Unrevised from 8.1 to 8.2. 8.1 version |
Arguments: standard-object
Returns the style of the standard-object's border. Various border styles are listed below. Only some styles are appropriate for a specific object.
The border property may not be changed on an existing window or control, and must instead be specified with the inspector when designing a window or control (using a form) or with the :border initarg of make-window or make-instance. (It can be changed using the inspector when designing a form but not for a running window or control, either in the IDE or in an application.)
Here are the possible values and their effects:
:black
: use a one pixel wide black border. This is
the only non-3D-style border. The initial value for picture-button
(which
has its own 3d border). See :plain below.
:dialog-box
: similar to :frame
,
but without minimize and maximize buttons. Not applicable to controls.
:frame
: use a thick frame that includes a title bar
along the top. The title bar will include buttons for manipulating the
window if options to make-window such as
:minimize-button are true (as they are by
default). Note that the Windows interface style
always puts this thick frame-style border on all top-level
windows. Not applicable to controls.
:none
: use no border at all.
:palette
: similar to
:dialog-box
, but with a shorter title bar that has
a somewhat shorter font. The title bar also does not have a system
menu button at the left. Typically used for "floating toolbar"
windows. Not applicable to controls.
:plain
: use a standard 3D border with thick black
upper and left edges and white lower and right edges, and no title
bar. The initial value for various controls that have a border and
accept mouse and keyboard input.
:static
: use a 3-dimensional border intended for
static controls, i.e., controls that do not handle mouse clicks or
typed input. Note: some clickable controls still have :static as a
border option. Users who want to use clickable controls in a
non-clickable way (for example, a multi-line-editable-text
control
whose text can be selected and copied but not modified) might want the
:static option.
For group-box
controls the border
can have the following special properties:
:2d
Border of the group-box is a plain gray line.
:raised
Body of the group-box is raised.
:raised-edge
Border is raised.
:sunken
Body of the group-box is sunken.
:sunken-edge
Border is sunken.
