Visual Styles

Visual Styles

Visual Styles have historically ignored the BorderColor property for reasons that are unclear. Borders were painted black unless a theme was applied in which case the theme took over and applied a border color of its own.

Under DirectX, the border color as specified will now be applied. This may cause issues for some customers who have erroneous values specified in their Visual Styles. The obvious workaround is to correct the Visual Style.

As at the time of release of this document, Visual Style BorderStyle is ignored in a DirectX runtime. All borders are shown as a single line.
