[i] Define a frame for the item.

Declaration

Source position: MUIClass.Area.pas line 154

Description

Since area class is a superclass for all elements in a window, you can assign frames to every object you wish.

You don't adjust the style of your frame directly, instead you only specify a type:

MUIV_Frame_Button

for standard buttons with text in it.

MUIV_Frame_ImageButton

for small buttons with images, e.g. the arrows of a scrollbar.

MUIV_Frame_Text

for a text field, e.g. a status line display.

MUIV_Frame_String

for a string gadget.

MUIV_Frame_ReadList

for a read only list.

MUIV_Frame_InputList

for a list that handles input (has a cursor).

MUIV_Frame_Prop

for proportional gadgets.

MUIV_Frame_Group

for groups.

How the frame is going to look is adjustable via the preferences program.

Four spacing values belong to each frame that tell MUI how many pixels should be left free between the frame and its contents. These spacing values are also user adjustable as long as you don't override them with one of InnerLeft, InnerRight, InnerTop or InnerBottom.
