Using the 3D look

Although it is not standard for Windows CE applications, you can give the applications you develop with PocketBuilder a three-dimensional look and feel. To use this appearance for an application, select a 3D border for your SingleLineEdit boxes and other controls and make the window background gray.

StepsTo use the 3D look by default:

  1. Select Design>Options from the menu bar.

    The Options dialog box displays.

  2. On the General properties page, select Default to 3D.

    When you build a new window, PocketBuilder automatically sets the window background color to gray and uses 3D borders when you place controls.

PocketBuilder records this preference in the Default3D variable in the [Window] section of the PocketBuilder initialization file, so the preference is maintained across sessions.
