The Box Widget

[A View of a Box Widget]

View Class: SimpleView
Spec Class: ViewSpec

The Box Widget can be used for grouping other widgets, or to create special 3D frame effects (by nesting boxes). In contrast to the panel widgets, it does not impose a layout on its children. If required, put a panel inside the box.


The Basics Section:

ID Unique symbolic name (ID) of the box.  
This ID can be used by the application to access the widget via "builder » componentAt:#ID".

The Details Section:

BG-Color Defines the background color of the widget. 
After selecting the check toggle the background color can be chosen by selecting the desired colored button. If no color  is selected, the widget takes its default background color from the style sheet.
Border Defines the width of the border.
Level Defines the width of the 3D-border. 
Positive values provide a raising, 
negative values provide a lowering of the widget.
Initially Invisible Turns on/off that the widget is initially invisible.
