Visual J++ example

Syntax float ShadowXDepth

Overview:  Refer to Drawing Three-Dimensional Shapes and Text.

Remarks

(Persistent property, available at design time) Specifies the X offset of a drop shadow that is applied to a three-dimensional shape or text object.

To have no drop shadow, set the ShadowXDepth and ShadowYDepth properties to 0.

Whether you draw to the screen or to the bitmap, drawing objects are always positioned in the Main Control's client area. If the target is the bitmap, LEADTOOLS translates the values to bitmap coordinates.

For text objects, drop shadows are available only for the following TextStyle values:

EFX_TEXTSTYLE_DROPSHADOW
EFX_TEXTSTYLE_BLOCKSHADOW
EFX_TEXTSTYLE_OUTLINEBLOCK
