Shortcut style properties

For your convenience, and for compatibility with earlier versions of True DBList, several shortcut properties are defined for accessing Style object members at either design time or run time:

Alignment	Specifies horizontal text alignment
BackColor	Sets/returns the background color
Font	Specifies the typeface, size, and other text characteristics
FooterAlignment	Specifies column footing alignment
ForeColor	Sets/returns the foreground color
HeadAlignment	Specifies column heading alignment

The following list shows the style property equivalent for each shortcut. It also indicates which properties are supported by the TDBList and TDBCombo controls, and which properties are supported by the Split and Column objects.

For example, the following statements are equivalent:

Example Title	Copy Code
TDBList1.Columns(0).HeadAlignment = dblCenter TDBList1.Columns(0).HeadingStyle.Alignment = dblCenter
