Example

To set the style of a box to Surface, Raised, Bold for the box (Tag Name = CustomerNameBox):

CustomerNameBox.BoxAppearance = "SURFACE"
CustomerNameBox.ShapeProjection = "RAISED"
CustomerNameBox.ShapeBold = TRUE


To remove the bold from the box leaving .BoxAppearance and .ShapeProjection the same:

CustomerNameBox.SHAPEBOLD = 0 or:

#FALSE = 0
CustomerNameBox.ShapeBold = #FALSE


To retrieve the value of the .ShapeBold property from the box:

$CUSTOMERNAMEBOX_ShapeBold = CustomerNameBox.ShapeBold
