Property Value

If the BorderColor property is set to System.Drawing.Color.Transparent or System.Drawing.Color.Empty then the ToolWindow will not have a border.

The width of the ToolWindow's border is fixed at 1 pixel. In order to increase the width of the border, add a panel to the ToolWindow and set its Dock property to System.Windows.Forms.DockStyle.Fill. Next, set the ToolWindow's DockPadding property to the desired border width and change its background color to the desired border color.

To reset the value of the BorderColor property to its default value, DefaultBorderColor, the ResetBorderColor method must be called.
