 Usage Notes
   ■ With a form, the BorderStyle property determines key characteristics
     that visually identify a form as either a window or a dialog box.
     Setting 3 (Fixed Double) is used for standard dialog boxes.
     See: ◄Creating a Dialog Box►
 
   ■ The ControlPanel property constants ACTIVE_BORDER_BACKCOLOR and
     ACTIVE_BORDER_FORECOLOR are used to determine the colors associated
     with an object's border.
     See: ◄ACTIVE_BORDER_BACKCOLOR Constant►
          ◄ACTIVE_BORDER_FORECOLOR Constant►
          ◄ControlPanel Property►
 
   ■ If a title bar is not present on a form, the form cannot be moved at run
     time.
 
   ■ Mouse events are detected within border areas (of controls that have
     borders). CurrentX and CurrentY values can be used to indicate when the
     mouse is not in the client area of the control.
     See: ◄CurrentX Property►  ◄CurrentY Property►  ◄MouseDown Event►
          ◄MouseMove Event►    ◄MouseUp Event►
 
   ■ When THREE_D is set to False (0), control borders are drawn in the
     foreground color of the control. See: ◄THREE_D Constant►
