PanelContainerDesigner.FrameStyle Property

 

Gets the styles of the associated Panel control.

Namespace:   System.Web.UI.Design.WebControls
Assembly:  System.Design (in System.Design.dll)

Public Overrides ReadOnly Property FrameStyle As Style

Property Value

Type: System.Web.UI.WebControls.Style

A Style object that contains the design-time styles for the associated Panel control.

If the FrameCaption property is an empty string (""), the FrameStyle property returns an empty Style object. Otherwise, the FrameStyle property returns a default Style object that is generated by the ContainerControlDesigner.FrameStyle base property.

The following code example shows how to override the FrameStyle property in a class that is inherited from the PanelContainerDesigner class to change the appearance of a control that is derived from the Panel class at design time. The example defines a design-time border style for the associated control.

' Provide a design-time border style for the panel.
Public Overrides ReadOnly Property FrameStyle() As Style
    Get
        Dim styleOfFrame As Style = MyBase.FrameStyle

        ' If no border style is defined, define one.
        If (styleOfFrame.BorderStyle = BorderStyle.NotSet Or _
            styleOfFrame.BorderStyle = BorderStyle.None) Then
            styleOfFrame.BorderStyle = BorderStyle.Outset
        End If

        Return styleOfFrame
    End Get
End Property ' FrameStyle
