Remarks

The example below shows how to create a rectangle and change its border settings.

C#

// Add a rectangle to a document.
Shape rectangle = document.Shapes.InsertShape(document.Range.Start, ShapeGeometryPreset.Rectangle, new RectangleF(300, 200, 500, 300));
// Fill the rectangle with color.
rectangle.Fill.SetSolidFill(Color.FromArgb(0xFF, 0xEE, 0xAD));
// Format the rectangle border.
ShapeLine border = rectangle.Line;
border.Color = Color.FromArgb(0x4D, 0x64, 0x8D);
border.Thickness = 6;
border.JoinType = LineJoinType.Miter;
border.DashType = LineDashType.Solid;
border.CompoundType = LineCompoundType.ThickThin;

VB.NET

' Add a rectangle to a document.
Dim rectangle As Shape = document.Shapes.InsertShape(document.Range.Start, ShapeGeometryPreset.Rectangle, New RectangleF(300, 200, 500, 300))
' Fill the rectangle with color.
rectangle.Fill.SetSolidFill(Color.FromArgb(&HFF, &HEE, &HAD))
' Format the rectangle border.
Dim border As ShapeLine = rectangle.Line
border.Color = Color.FromArgb(&H4D, &H64, &H8D)
border.Thickness = 6
border.JoinType = LineJoinType.Miter
border.DashType = LineDashType.Solid
border.CompoundType = LineCompoundType.ThickThin
