Styling a form with Appstylist 2011
posted

Since the 2011 version it is possible to also style the form with the appstyler. I just don't seem to be able to find any proper documentation on how to change certain properties. Does anybody know how to:

  • Change the border width?
  • Window border color
  • Caption alignment?
  • What part exactly creates a rounded or a rectangular form (it seems that setting the ViewStyle in the "All Components" to "Standard" does makes it rectangular?)

Or even better: some documentation on how to do this? (If I search for example for UltraFormCaptionArea I don't really find anything useful that tells me what can be styles with this)

Would be great if someone could point me in the right direction.

    Hello,

    I will be happy to assist you with your questions.

    Below you will find the answers to your questions in order:

    • The AppStylist doesn't have the ability to change the border width of a form.
    • To change the border color by utilizing the UltraFormBorder and UltraFormCaptionArea roles off of the Base UI Role. Simply change the backgroud color property to make this change.
    • Within the UltraFormCaptionArea role previously mentioned, you have the ability to align the text using the font property.
    • Setting the ViewStyle in the "All Components" to "standard" is the only way to allow form to create square instead of rounded corners.

    To help illustrate my explanation, I have attached two images into this forum.

    Please let me know if you have further questions regarding this matter.
