FormBorderStyle Enumeration
Visual Studio 2010
Specifies the border styles for a form.
Assembly: System.Windows.Forms (in System.Windows.Forms.dll)
| Member name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| None | No border. | |
| FixedSingle | A fixed, single-line border. | |
| Fixed3D | A fixed, three-dimensional border. | |
| FixedDialog | A thick, fixed dialog-style border. | |
| Sizable | A resizable border. | |
| FixedToolWindow | A tool window border that is not resizable. A tool window does not appear in the taskbar or in the window that appears when the user presses ALT+TAB. Although forms that specify FixedToolWindow typically are not shown in the taskbar, you must also ensure that the ShowInTaskbar property is set to false, since its default value is true. | |
| SizableToolWindow | A resizable tool window border. A tool window does not appear in the taskbar or in the window that appears when the user presses ALT+TAB. |
This enumeration is used by the Form class. It represents the different styles of the form. The default style is Sizable.
In this example, you change the form border style to Fixed3d and display the border's information using a label. This example assumes that you have already created a Form named Form1.
public: void InitMyForm() { // Adds a label to the form. Label^ label1 = gcnew Label; label1->Location = System::Drawing::Point( 80, 80 ); label1->Name = "label1"; label1->Size = System::Drawing::Size( 132, 80 ); label1->Text = "Start Position Information"; this->Controls->Add( label1 ); // Changes the border to Fixed3D. FormBorderStyle = ::FormBorderStyle::Fixed3D; // Displays the border information. label1->Text = String::Format( "The border is {0}", FormBorderStyle ); }
