| Reference > TDBContainer3D Control > TDBContainer3D Control Properties > ChildrenEffect Property (TDBContainer3D) |
The ChildrenEffect property determines a single 3D effect for all the control in the container control. The built-in "Inset" effect will be set by default. The setting of this property updates the display only when the ApplyEffect property is set to 1-All. The 3D effects can be applied with the Effect object using an index number, key name or an object.
control.ChildrenEffect= variant
Read/Write at run time and design time.
You can remove the 3D effects for the child controls by setting the ChildrenEffect to Null or applying the built-in "Flat" effect.
If you remove the current applied Effect object from the EffectsCollection, this property will be automatically set to Null, removing the 3D display also.
A standalone Effect object can not be applied to the ChildrenEffect property using the index number or the key name. It must be applied as an object, since the object is not part of any collection. To avoid this, you can first add the independent object to the collection using the AddObj method, then reference by index number, key name, or an object.
