# borderUsesBackColor attribute

The borderUsesBackColor attribute specifies whether to use the object’s backColor attribute for the border of the object.

Graphic object elements with borders contain the borderUsesBackColor attribute. Drawing object elements (except the panel), gauge object elements, and activeX object elements do not have borderUsesBackColor attributes.

If borderUsesBackColor is false, you can set the borderColor attribute to a separate color, instead of using the object’s background color.
