Defines where in a button the bitmap will be positioned relative the text on a button. It is only applicable if there is both a bitmap and text on the button.

|
2 |
To the right of the button text. |
|
3 |
Above the button text. |
|

Controls the type of border that will be used when drawing a button-style check box. Possible values and formats are Solid, None, Double, Groove, Ridge, Inset and Outset.
If not set, it will have the value of "Default" (or ""), which indicates that the system should use the system default button styling.
Note:
This property is effective on a check box only when it is drawn as a button, which occurs when a bitmap is added.
Controls the color(s) of the border for any button-style check box whose border style (see Border$ property) is other than the system default.
For information on valid color names and color specifications, see Color Properties.
This property can include either one or two colors separated by a / (slash). If only a single color is provided, then this color is used for all four borders. If two colors are supplied, the first color is used to define the Top/Left borders, while the second color is used to define the Bottom/Right borders.
The value can be set to either a numeric or a string value. If setting a numeric value, the value set is the internal color number for the desired color. If setting a string value, any form of color specification may be used (color name, RGB, HSL, or HTML color code).
Note:
This property is effective on a check box only when it is drawn as a button, which occurs when a bitmap is added.
Controls the width of the border (in pixels) for any button-style check box whose border style (see Border$ property) is other than the system default. This property can only contain a numeric integer.

This property reports/sets the CTL value to generate when an object is selected on a right-click of the mouse.
Message line text for the control.
User object method. (Default: 0 - No object specified)
The 'ObjectID property allows applications to intercept property values and add methods to controls. When set to a valid Object ID by the application, you can add methods and add/override property logic for any control in the system. When set in the system, it allows the application to logically request methods against the control that, in turn, will be performed by the related Object ID. It will also first check the object for any property requests and, if the property is defined in the object, set or get that property instead of the controls.
To allow the specified object to get true access to the control, while executing within the object identified by the 'ObjectID property, the system will direct any property requests directly to the control.
Note:
When a control is deleted from the system, any object identified by an 'ObjectID property will be automatically dropped.
On Focus CTL event. 0 is returned if no On Focus CTL value is set up for the control.
This property controls the CTL event that will be fired prior to the system displaying the Tip for any control. If the value of this property is non-zero, the system will use its value of a CTL event to fire and will defer the display of the tip until the application changes the value in 'Tip$. If the value in 'Tip$ is not changed, no tip will be displayed.
Setting this to zero (Default) disables the event from being sent and the current 'Tip$ will be displayed.
Parent window handle.
Signal only - do not get focus: 0 = Off; 1 = On. (Default: 0)
This property can also be read, returning 1 or 0 to indicate if the control is to signal only and not get focus.
Controls the translation of the values selected in a control and how the value will be passed to/from the application.
Generally, it contains a table of single-character values representing selections from the controls with each character representing each of the values in the control in sequence. The size of each entry can be changed using the 'TblWidth property.
