BEVEL( outer [,inner] [,style] )
| BEVEL | Specifies a 3-D effect border on a control. |
| outer | An integer constant or constant expression that specifies the width of the outer edge of the bevel (PROP:BevelOuter, equivalent to {PROP:Bevel,1}). If negative, the outer edge appears to be lowered; if positive, the outer edge appears to be raised. |
| inner | An integer constant or constant expression that specifies the width of the inner edge of the bevel (PROP:BevelInner, equivalent to {PROP:Bevel,2}). If negative, the inner edge appears to be lowered; if positive, the inner edge appears to be raised. If omitted, there is no inner edge to the border. |
| style | An integer constant or constant expression that specifies fine control of the bevel, overriding the signs of the outer and inner parameters (PROP:BevelStyle, equivalent to {PROP:Bevel,3}). |
The BEVEL attribute (PROP:BEVEL) of a PANEL, OPTION, GROUP, or REGION control specifies a 3-D effect border. The signs of the outer and inner parameters determine whether the control appears to be raised or lowered. The style parameter allows fine control of the bevel. This parameter is a bitmap with the bits apportioned for each edge as follows:
Bits: 15 - 12 | 11 - 08 | 07 - 04 | 03 - 00
Edge: left | top | right | bottom
Each of these four-bit nibbles is further divided into two two-bit sections that govern the appearance of the inner and outer parts of the edge. The low order two bits of each nibble defines the outer part, while the high order bits define the inner:
Binary: 00b | 01b | 10b | 11b
Result: no edge | raised | lowered | gray
Combining these into nibbles creates the definition of one edge of the bevel:
0110b = raised inner, lowered outer
1001b = lowered inner, raised outer
Example:
Win1 WINDOW,AT(0,0,160,400)
PANEL,AT(25,15,50,50),USE(?Panel1),BEVEL(5,-5) !Raised outer, lowered inner
PANEL,AT(0,0,,),USE(?Panel2),FULL,BEVEL(2,2,1111010110101001b)
!left = all gray
!top = inner raised, outer raised
!right = inner lowered, outer lowered
!bottom = inner lowered, outer raised
REGION,AT(0,80,5,),USE(?ResizeBar),FULL,IMM,BEVEL(2,2,0101000010100000b)
!A vertical resize bar
