| ctFrame |
| |
ctFrame is a container object making it
easy to create boxes, title bars, or container objects with a
variety of border effects. This
 frame
object has inner and
outer borders which may be hidden. Additionally, ctFrame will
host child objects, making it easy for the developer to manage
the layout of complex groups of objects. |
| |
|
Host Child Objects : ctFrame
will host child objects in development environments that support
ISimpleFrame. |
|
Inner and Outer Border : Multiple styles for either
inner or outer borders such as "Single Line", "None", "Raised",
"Lowered", "Drop Shadow" and "Inset". Width, distance between
borders, and colors for all borders may be defined by the
developer. The drawing of individual border-sides may be
suppressed. |
|
Display Drag Bars : Add single or
double drag bars to make ctFrame look just like a toolbar. As a
toolbar, ctFrame can host child controls, making it easy to
fine-tune form designs. |
| Display Styles : The main area of the
control can be set to mimic the fill patterns found in Windows
XP. These styles and themes can be implemented with or without
Windows XP. |
 |
|
Internal Timer : ctFrame includes its own timer which is
supported by start and stop methods, a timer event, and a
property to adjust the interval between time events. |
|
Simulated Transparency : Provides a
transparent background without requiring the host language to
support transparency through its OLE container. This
allows transparency to be provided to a larger number of
development environments. |
