Supplying property values
Contents
Each property has its own set of property values that you can use
to specify the true and false conditions in the If expression. Usually
you specify a number to indicate what you want. For example, if you are
working with the Border property, you use the number 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
or 6 to specify a border.
The following table summarizes the properties available. A
detailed description of each property follows the table. For a complete
list of properties for each control, see Objects and Controls.
Valid values of properties are shown in parentheses in the
Properties view wherever possible.
For example, the drop-down list showing border selections
includes the correct number for specifying each border in parentheses
after the name of the border (ShadowBox, Underline).
