Oracle Forms Developer – Form Builder Reference, Volume 1

Bevel property
Description
Specifies the appearance of the object border, either RAISED, LOWERED, INSET, OUTSET, or
NONE. Can also be set programmatically at the item instance level to indicate the property is unspecified
at this level. That is, if you set this property programmatically at the item instance level using
SET_ITEM_INSTANCE_PROPERTY, the border bevel is determined by the item-level value specified
at design-time or by SET_ITEM_PROPERTY at runtime.
Applies to chart item, image item, custom item, stacked canvases, text items (Microsoft Windows only)

Usage Notes
• To create a scrolling window, the Bevel property should be set to RAISED or LOWERED.
Bevel restrictions
• On window managers that do not support beveling, the RAISED, LOWERED, and NONE options
are equivalent, and simply specify that the item should have a border.
• If the item’s Bevel property is set to None in Form Builder, you cannot set BORDER_BEVEL
programmatically.
• You cannot programmatically set BORDER_BEVEL to NONE.
