TPanel.BevelOuter Property

Determines the style of the outer bevel of a panel.

Pascal

property BevelOuter: TBevelCut;

C++

__property TPanelBevel BevelOuter;__property TBevelCut BevelOuter;

Description

Use BevelOuter to provide the panel with a three-dimensional beveled look. A panel component has two bevels, an outer bevel drawn next to the border of the control, and an inner bevel drawn inside the outer bevel, separated by the number of pixels specified in the BorderWidth property. The width of the outer bevel is specified in the BevelWidth property in pixels.

C++ Examples:

/*
This example uses a panel component and a button named 
CreateStatusLine on a form. The code moves the panel to the 
bottom of the form when the user clicks the button and gives
the panel the appearance of a status line by changing the 
value of the BevelInner, BevelOuter, BevelWidth, and 
BorderWidth properties.
