Sets the rectangle style, or retrieves the rectangle style setting.
This function applies to the selected object,
which is typically the last placed object. By using the
PageSelectFirstObject() and
PageSelectNextObject() functions,
you can access your objects and change or read their
properties.
Syntax
AttributeRectangleStyle(Style)
Style:
0 = none
1 = border
2 = extra line
3 = border and an extra line
Return Value
If retrieving the current rectangle style setting, a value between 0 and 3. If applying a rectangle style, 0 (zero) if successful. In both cases, an error is returned if unsuccessful. If values are out of range on writing to the attribute, the function will exit and report the error E_INVALIDARG. If there is no active object, they will exit and report a return value of E_HANDLE.
Note: For details on handling return and error values, see Error Handling.

C++ environment as two separate functions: put_AttributeRectangleStyle applies a rectangle
style, and get_AttributeRectangleStyle retrieves the
current rectangle style setting.
