Interface IShadow

All Superinterfaces:

Serializable

All Known Subinterfaces:

ISymbolShadow

All Known Implementing Classes:

SymbolShadow

public interface IShadow
extends Serializable

Provides access to members that control frame drop shadows.

Remarks

The SymbolShadow object is used to draw drop shadows around frame elements.

IShadow is used to manage drop shadows properties such as HorizontalSpacing and VerticalSpacing determining the distance between the shadow and the frame. The Name property defines the name of the SymbolShadow as listed in the shadow selector. GetGeometry will return the geometry of the drop shadow. The QueryBounds and Draw methods are equivalent to the similar methods of IElement.

See ISymbolShadow for additional control of the drop shadow.

See also IFrameDecoration.
