Public Overridable Function IsDefined( _
   ByVal prop As AppearanceProperty _
) As Boolean

'Usage
 
Dim instance As Appearance

public virtual bool IsDefined( 
   AppearanceProperty prop
)

Parameters

prop: AppearanceProperty object containing the appearance property

Boolean: true if property is set; false otherwise

Remarks

Use this method to check if one of the appearance properties has been set for the object. For a list of the properties, see the AppearanceProperty class list of members.

Example

This example creates two Appearance objects and a Cell object. Several properties are set for the first Appearance object, and they are subsequently copied to the second instance. The properties are then applied from the second Appearance object to the Cell objects corresponding properties. The BackColor property of the Appearance object is then queried to see if it has been defined, and the result is returned to a text box.
