| [set_Color](./set_color/)(System::Drawing::Color) | Setter for [Aspose::Words::Border::get_Color](./get_color/). |
| [set_DistanceFromText](./set_distancefromtext/)(double) | Setter for [Aspose::Words::Border::get_DistanceFromText](./get_distancefromtext/). |
| [set_LineStyle](./set_linestyle/)(Aspose::Words::LineStyle) | Setter for [Aspose::Words::Border::get_LineStyle](./get_linestyle/). |
| [set_LineWidth](./set_linewidth/)(double) | Setter for [Aspose::Words::Border::get_LineWidth](./get_linewidth/). |
| [set_Shadow](./set_shadow/)(bool) | Setter for [Aspose::Words::Border::get_Shadow](./get_shadow/). |
| [set_ThemeColor](./set_themecolor/)(Aspose::Words::Themes::ThemeColor) | Setter for [Aspose::Words::Border::get_ThemeColor](./get_themecolor/). |
| [set_TintAndShade](./set_tintandshade/)(double) | Setter for [Aspose::Words::Border::get_TintAndShade](./get_tintandshade/). |
| static [Type](./type/)() |  |
## Remarks


Borders can be applied to various document elements including paragraph, run of text inside a paragraph or a table cell.

## Examples



Shows how to insert a string surrounded by a border into a document. 
```cpp
auto doc = System::MakeObject<Aspose::Words::Document>();
auto builder = System::MakeObject<Aspose::Words::DocumentBuilder>(doc);

builder->get_Font()->get_Border()->set_Color(System::Drawing::Color::get_Green());
builder->get_Font()->get_Border()->set_LineWidth(2.5);
builder->get_Font()->get_Border()->set_LineStyle(LineStyle::DashDotStroker);

builder->Write(u"Text surrounded by green border.");

doc->Save(get_ArtifactsDir() + u"Border.FontBorder.docx");
```


Shows how to insert a paragraph with a top border. 
```cpp
auto doc = System::MakeObject<Aspose::Words::Document>();
auto builder = System::MakeObject<Aspose::Words::DocumentBuilder>(doc);

System::SharedPtr<Aspose::Words::Border> topBorder = builder->get_ParagraphFormat()->get_Borders()->get_Top();
topBorder->set_LineWidth(4.0);
topBorder->set_LineStyle(LineStyle::DashSmallGap);
// Set ThemeColor only when LineWidth or LineStyle setted.
topBorder->set_ThemeColor(ThemeColor::Accent1);
topBorder->set_TintAndShade(0.25);

builder->Writeln(u"Text with a top border.");

doc->Save(get_ArtifactsDir() + u"Border.ParagraphTopBorder.docx");
```
