23.2.1 Border class

The static Border class provides constants that are used to define the border property of many controls, provided they have a Border property:

Border	Constant	Description
.None	0	No border is drawn
.Plain	1	A simple border line is drawn
.Sunken	2	A border line with a small shadow effect is drawn
.Raised	3	Draw a slightly raised border line
.Etched	4	A deepened border line is drawn

Table 23.2.1: Border properties

Some controls have a Border property that only allows you to specify whether a border is drawn or not. For others, the border property can be used to define the style of the border in 5 variants. If a border is set, you can specify whether the border is fixed or can be changed at runtime.

Examples:

btnStartTerminal.Border = True: This value for the border of a button is the default value and describes that each new button is drawn with a fine border.
PictureBox.Border = Border.Plain: The border property Plain (constant = 1) from the Border class defines a simple line as the border around the picture box.
