DrawStyle Property Example

The example draws seven lines across a form, with each line displaying a different DrawStyle.  (If you set AutoRedraw = True, the form accumulates a new set of lines each time you resize it and then click it.)  To try this example, paste the code into the Declarations section of a form.  Then press F5 and click the form.

Sub Form_Click ()
  Dim I                                        ' Declare variable.
  ScaleHeight = 8                              ' Divide height by 8.
  For I = 0 To 6
    DrawStyle = I                              ' Change style.
    Line (0, I + 1) - (ScaleWidth, I + 1)      ' Draw new line.
  Next I
End Sub
