BorderColor

Specifies the color of an object's border.Syntax:

```
set the borderColor of <line> of <field> to {empty | <colorName> | <RGBColor>}

```

Examples:

```
set the borderColor of field "Alert" to "red"

```

```
set the borderColor of last button to "#000000"

```

```
set the borderColor of scrollbar ID 1010 to "128,128,128"

```

```
set the borderColor of line 1 of field 1 to "255,0,0"

```

Use the **borderColor** property to specify the border color of an
object or paragraph of text in a field.

By default, the **borderColor** for all objects is empty.

Setting the **borderColor** of an object(glossary) to empty allows the
**borderColor** of the object's owner to show through. Use the
effective keyword to find out what color is used for the
object(glossary), even if its own **borderColor** is empty.

If the object's showBorder property is false, the **borderColor** has no
effect. If the object's threeD property is true, the
topColor and bottomColor are used to draw the border, rather than
the **borderColor**.

The setting of the **borderColor** property has different effects,
depending on the object type:

* The **borderColor** of a stack determines the **borderColor** of each

```
 object(glossary) in the stack that does not have its own
 **borderColor**.

```

* The **borderColor** of a card or group determines the color of the

```
 border around the card or group, as well as determining the
 **borderColor** of each object(glossary) in the card or group that
 does not have its own **borderColor**.

```

* The **borderColor** of a button(keyword) determines the color of the

```
 border around the button(keyword). If the button's
 style is "checkbox" or "radioButton", the **borderColor** has no
 effect. If the button is a button menu, the **borderColor** has no
 effect unless the button's menuMode property is
 set to "comboBox" or "popup". If the button's
 threeD property is set to true, the **borderColor** has no effect
 regardless of the button's style.

```

* The **borderColor** of a field(keyword) determines the color of the

```
 border around a scrolling field's scrollbar, the color
 of the grid lines if the field's hGrid or vGrid
 property is true, and the color of the outline around any text in
 the field(keyword) whose textStyle is set to "box".

```

* The **borderColor** of a scrollbar is the color of the border

```
 surrounding the scrollbar.

```

* The **borderColor** of a graphic(keyword) is used to fill the marker

```
 shapes at the graphic's vertexes, if the
 graphic's style isorand its markerDrawn is true.
 It is also used to draw a border around it if the
 graphic's showBorder and threeD properties are
 both set to true.

```

* The **borderColor** of an audio clip or video clip has no effect.

* The **borderColor** of a player or EPS object is the color of

```
 the border around the object(glossary). If the object's
 threeD property is set to true, the **borderColor** has no effect.

```

* Tip:\* To set the color of an image's border, set the

**borderColor** of the card, stack, or group that owns the
image(keyword).

If an object's borderPattern is set, the pattern is shown instead of
the color specified by **borderColor**.

Changes:
The **borderColor** 's effect on grid lines in fields was
introduced in version 2.0. In previous versions, the color of the grid
lines was determined by the field's hiliteColor property.

Parameters:

* colorName: Any standard color name.
* RGBColor: Consists of three comma-separated integers between zero and 255,specifying the level of each of red, green, and blue; or an HTML-stylecolor consisting of a hash mark (#) followed by three hexadecimalnumbers, one for each of red, green, and blue.
