The BOX procedure places a rectangular box on the current window or report. The position and size of the box are specified by x, y, width, and height parameters. This procedure is valid in Clarion Win32 Windows, and also for REPORT structures in both Clarion Win32 and Clarion#.

The x and y parameters specify the starting point, and the width and height parameters specify the horizontal and vertical size of the box. The box extends to the right and down from its starting point.

The border color is the current pen color set by SETPENCOLOR; the default color is the Windows system color for window text. The border width is the current width set by SETPENWIDTH; the default width is one pixel. The border style is the current pen style set by SETPENSTYLE; the default style is a solid line.

Example:

MDIChild WINDOW('Child One'),AT(0,0,320,200),MDI,MAX,HVSCROLL

         !window controls

        END
