nExpr

For a PageFrame control, Container object, or Control object, the settings for the SpecialEffect property are as follows:

Setting	Description
0	Raised. The control appears to be raised from the form.
1	Sunken. The control appears to be set into the form.
2	Flat.

Note
For a PageFrame control, SpecialEffect is available only if the Tabs Property is set to false (.F.). Also, the BorderColor property for a PageFrame applies only when nExpr is set to 2 (Flat).

For all other controls, the settings for the SpecialEffect property are as follows:

Setting	Description
0	(Default for all controls and objects except the Container object.) 3D. Border of control is raised to simulate a 3-dimensional look.
1	Plain. Control appears without a 3-dimensional border.
2	Hot tracking. Provides mouseover effect for specific controls.

Note

If the Height property is set to a value too small, the 3D setting has no effect. Hot tracking is supported on the following controls: ListBox, ComboBox, Spinner, TextBox, EditBox, CommandButton, CheckBox, OptionButton. Hot tracking for CheckBox or OptionButton controls is only supported if Style = 2 (graphical). Hot tracking is supported for CommandButtons only when Style <> 1 (invisible). The following table describes hot tracking support.
