# Examples

set the hiliteBorder of last button to true

# Description

Use the hiliteBorder property to affect the appearance of a three-D button when it is clicked.

If a button's hiliteBorder property is true, the button highlight action is affected, depending on the style of the button. For radio buttons and checkbox, a border is drawn around the entire button if its hilite is true. For other button styles, the button effective topColor is used for the bottom and right edges, and the bottomColor is used for the top and left edges (reversing the normal effect), when the button is highlight.

If the lookAndFeel property is "Macintosh", the hiliteBorder property has no effect on button styles other than radio buttons and checkbox.

If the button's threeD property is false, the hiliteBorder property has no effect.
