EntrySet Controls offer the developers easy and effective way how to give to the applications professional look&feel. Every visual component can be adjusted according to your idea by means of several properties, which determine the look. These properties are in Style class.

 

BackColor

Background color of the component. If you set the color on Transparent, the background will be transparent. Also edit box and combo box support the transparency!

FadeColor a FillStyle

How to achieve the blending effect of two colors? BackColor represents the first color and the second color is set in FadeColor. Set the style of filling (blending) using FillStyle property.

BorderColor and BorderStyle

If the component supports the frame imaging (e.g. EditBox, ComboBox, ContainerPanel), you can set its color in BorderColor and the type of the line in BorderStyle. If BordeStyle=None, the line will not display.

Shape

This property determines the shape of the component. E.g. in EditBox you can set if the shape will be angular or if the corners will be rounded. At Label component the shape shows if you set the BackColor or turn on the label imaging.

Theme

This property determines how some components will be displayed, e.g. Button. That way you can set whether the Button will have common look or unusual look such as Vista.

UnderlineColor and UnderlineStyle

If the component supports the underline, the color is set in UnderlineColor property and the look is set in UnderlineStyle. It is not ordinary underline, which is in Font property but it is special underline, which allows you to underline the text e.g. by red tilde as you can se in Microsoft Word.
