lineWidth
Type: Integer Fields: All Access: R/W
This property specifies the thickness of the border when stroking the perimeter of a field’s
rectangle. If the stroke color is transparent, this parameter has no effect except in the case of a
beveled border. You can set the lineWidth property in JavaScript by using the integer values
below:
For example:
// Change the border width of the Text Box to medium thickness
f.lineWidth = 2
The default value for lineWidth is 1 (thin). Any integer value can be used. However, values
beyond 5 may distort the field’s appearance.
In older versions of this specification, this property was borderWidth .Theuseof borderWidth
is now discouraged but for backwards compatibility is still valid.
multiline
Type: Boolean Fields: Text Access: R
This read-only property determines how the text is wrapped within the field. Text fields can be
single line (clip to field boundaries) or multi-line (wrap to field boundaries).
