Example

The following example changes boxes with the pjBoxCritical style to be shown as rounded rectangles, adds vertical gridlines, sets the border color to a dark red, and sets the background color to light gray with a dither pattern.

Sub BoxStyles_EditCritical() 
 'Activate the Network Diagram view 
 ViewApply Name:="Network Diagram" 
 
 BoxStylesEditEx Style:=pjBoxCritical, BorderShape:=pjBoxRoundedRectangle, VerticalGridlines:=True, _ 
 BorderColor:=&HB0, BorderWidth:=3, _ 
 BackgroundColor:=&HE0E0E0, BackgroundPattern:=pjBackgroundLightDither 
End Sub

Note

If you use any of the PjColor enumeration constants for the BorderColor or BackgroundColor parameters, the color will be nearly black. For example, the value of pjGreen is 9, which in the BoxLinksEx method is a very dark red. To use only the sixteen colors available with PjColor constants, use the BoxStylesEdit method.
