Drop shadow to appear around a control

Ancestors - Effect (PRIM_VS.Effect)Object (PRIM_OBJT)

Details

Drop shadows can be used to make controls appear as though floating above their parent control.  They can also be used to create a glow like effect, typically behind text, or a border to highlight a focus edit.
 
Dropshadow is a visual effect and does not alter the fundamental size of the control.
 
Controls with a DropShadow are clipped to ensure they fit within the bounds of their parent control.
