The BOX control places a rectangular box on the WINDOW, TOOLBAR, or REPORT at the position and size specified by its AT attribute. This control cannot receive input focus and does not generate events. It is valid in Clarion Win32 Windows, and also for REPORT structures in both Clarion Win32 and Clarion#.
