The fill color is specified by the BackColor property. When this property is set to Automatic, only the line is shown (that is, the object has no fill). The line color is specified by the ForeColor property. The line width is specified by the PenWidth property. The line style is specified by the PenStyle property. Only a solid line can have a PenWidth greater than 1 pixel.
A Box Tool object does not show text. To show text in a box, use the Text Tool and configure the Text Tool object with a border. However, a Box Tool can show the status of a point. To associate the object with a point use the point identifier properties to form a fully qualified CygNet tag string. The point identifier properties are [1:SiteService], [2:Point ID], [3:Long Point ID], [4:Facility ID], and [5:UDC]. If the object is on a templated screen, only use the [5:UDC] property.
The [AlarmElement] property can be set to show the point state color in the object’s Background Color, the Foreground Color, or not at all (None). When set to None, the color specified for each component is shown. If set to one of the other options, the component color is replaced with the point state color.
The [UseCustomStateColors] property enables the object to use its own custom point state colors. If set to 1 - Yes, the colors used are those defined by the object’s [CustomStateColors] property. If set to 0 - No, the colors are those defined by the TheView’s [CustomStateColors] property.
