Description

The shadow that is displayed when this property is set is 4 pixels wide. When defining a layout in the Uniface IDE, a 5-pixel space is reserved to the right and bottom of the area frame or entity. It is not possible to position a field or other object in this space to ensure that the shadow does not obscure an object beneath it at runtime.

Setting in ProcScript

For the entity widget, this property can be set in ProcScript using the $entityProperties or $curEntProperties commands.

putitem/id vProperties,"dropShadowColor","lightskyblue")
$entityproperties(ENTITY.MODEL)=vProperties

Setting in Initialization File

For area frames, you can specify this property on the basis of frame names in the [areaframes] section of the .ini. It is not possible to set this property in the Uniface IDE. For more information, see [areaframes].
