At runtime, the rectangle is taller and narrower, and the line is shorter and
has a wider pen width.
Supplying property values
Each property has its own set of property values that you can use to specify the
true and false conditions in the
If expression. Usually you specify a number to
indicate what you want. For example, if you are working with the Border
property, you use the number 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 to specify a border.
Table 10-1 summarizes the properties available. A detailed description of each
property follows the table. For a complete list of properties for each control,
see the online Help.
