Trouble with shapes!!! BorderWidth?

[KidforChrist]

I'm having trouble with the shape controle. How do I change the border width? Or the color?

 

[tsdragon]

myshape.BorderWidth = 2
myshape.BorderColor = #ff0000

You can also change border color as follow

Shape1.BorderColor=vbRed

 

[strongm]

>myshape.BorderColor = #ff0000

That probably won't work in VB ...

 

[tsdragon]

You're probably right. That's what I get for mixing up my languages again. At least I know the attributes are correct - I looked them up to make sure.

myshape.BorderColor = &hFF0000 sets it to blue.

If I had looked at the attribute VALUE instead of just the attribute name I would have posted it correctly!

Thanks everyone. I used the top method to change the width and it told me BorderWidth was not a correct atribute. I have sence then got it to do what I want but now I keep getting told that the Value property of a checkbox doesn't exist. ???

Well, that's sort of a new thread, but quickly, the checkbox has 3 values, vbChecked=1, vbUnchecked=0 and vbGrayed=2 (I think it spells it with an a not an e). A lot of confusion happens from thinking of a checkbox as true if checked and false if not.

If you have further trouble with this, I suggest that you post your code in a new thread.
