Features of the TDBContainer3D Control

This section describes the following TDBContainer3D control features:

· Automated 3D Coloring

· Auto Size

· Shadow Display

Automated 3D Coloring

In the TDBContainer3D control, the colors for the light and shade areas are automatically calculated by changing the color of the control. The brightness for the light area and darkness for the shade area can also be adjusted, contributing to a high quality 3D effect. The colors of the bright portion and the shadow portion will be set automatically by setting the control color. Special effects can be obtained in the case of full color display, where pattern colors can be expressed.

Auto Size

The TDBContainer3D control features automatically expanding a child control to fill the container area. The detail margins can also be set with the MarginLeft, MarginRight, MarginTop, and MarginBottom properties. Note that the automatic sizing feature takes effect only when there’s a single child control placed within the container control.

Shadow Display

A shadow can be added to the TDBContainer3D control. The shadow base color can be set with the ShadowBaseColor property, adjusting the mask darkness using the ShadowDarkness property.
