Fields

Name	Value	Description
None	0	No border.
FixedSingle	1	A fixed, single-line border.
Fixed3D	2	A fixed, three-dimensional border.
FixedDialog	3	A thick, fixed dialog-style border.
Sizable	4	A resizable border.
FixedToolWindow	5	A tool window border that is not resizable. A tool window does not appear in the taskbar or in the window that appears when the user presses ALT+TAB. Although forms that specify FixedToolWindow typically are not shown in the taskbar, you must also ensure that the ShowInTaskbar property is set to false, since its default value is true.
SizableToolWindow	6	A resizable tool window border. A tool window does not appear in the taskbar or in the window that appears when the user presses ALT+TAB.

Examples

In this example, you change the form border style to Fixed3d and display the border's information using a label. This example assumes that you have already created a Form named Form1.

public:
   void InitMyForm()
   {
      // Adds a label to the form.
      Label^ label1 = gcnew Label;
      label1->Location = System::Drawing::Point( 80, 80 );
      label1->Name = "label1";
      label1->Size = System::Drawing::Size( 132, 80 );
      label1->Text = "Start Position Information";
      this->Controls->Add( label1 );
      
      // Changes the border to Fixed3D.
      FormBorderStyle = ::FormBorderStyle::Fixed3D;
      
      // Displays the border information.
      label1->Text = String::Format( "The border is {0}", FormBorderStyle );
   }

public void InitMyForm()
{
 // Adds a label to the form.
 Label label1 = new Label();
 label1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(80,80);
 label1.Name = "label1";
 label1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(132,80);
 label1.Text = "Start Position Information";
 this.Controls.Add(label1);

 // Changes the border to Fixed3D.
 FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.Fixed3D;

 // Displays the border information.
 label1.Text = "The border is " + FormBorderStyle;	
}

Public Sub InitMyForm()
   ' Adds a label to the form.
   Dim label1 As New Label()
   label1.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(80, 80)
   label1.Name = "label1"
   label1.Size = New System.Drawing.Size(132, 80)
   label1.Text = "Start Position Information"
   Me.Controls.Add(label1)
   
   ' Changes the border to Fixed3D.
   FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.Fixed3D
   
   ' Displays the border information.
   label1.Text = "The border is " + FormBorderStyle
End Sub

Remarks

This enumeration is used by the Form class. It represents the different styles of the form. The default style is Sizable.
