Short dashes 3 Dashed line with short dashes
Dots 4 Dotted line
Sparse dots 5 Dotted line with dots spaced far apart

You can set the default for this property by using a control's default control style or the DefaultControl property in Visual Basic.

A control's border style is visible only when its SpecialEffect property is set to Flat or Shadowed. If the SpecialEffect property is set to something other than Flat or Shadowed, setting the BorderStyle property changes the SpecialEffect property setting to Flat.
