**FLAT**

{{blk2blue.jpg|blk2blue.jpg}}

The **FLAT** attribute (PROP:FLAT) specifies the BUTTON, CHECK, or RADIO with an ICON attribute appears flat until the mouse cursor passes over it. This attribute is typically used on controls placed in a TOOLBAR.

This feature works best if the ICON attribute names a .GIF file to display, as the image will automatically be "grayed" when the control is not active (the mouse cursor is not directly over the control).

The **FLAT** attribute is also supported in LIST,COMBO, ENTRY, and SPIN controls. Activating FLAT for these controls results in a "flatter" appearance (removes the recessed appearance).

PROP:FLAT is a read/write property.

**Example:**

**WinOne WINDOW,AT(0,0,160,400)**

**        TOOLBAR**

**         CHECK('1'),AT(0,0,20,20),USE(C1),ICON('Check1.GIF'),****FLAT**

**         BUTTON,AT(120,0,20,20),USE(?B7),ICON('Button1.GIF')**

**         OPTION('Option 4'),USE(OptVar4)**

**          RADIO('Radio 7'),AT(120,0,20,20),USE(?R7),ICON('Radio1.GIF'),****FLAT**

**          RADIO('Radio 8'),AT(140,0,20,20),USE(?R8),ICON('Radio2.GIF'),****FLAT**

**         END**

**        END**

**       END**
