Styles

The shared appearance helper classes used by the CustomControls package’s concrete Waynes… controls. Each is a small container of related visual settings — a Fill is a colour or gradient, a Borders is an array of border strokes, a Corners is the shape and radius of each corner, and so on. Controls compose them through Public WithEvents … properties: a WaynesButton holds four WaynesButtonState sub-objects (Normal / Hover / Focused / Pressed), each of which carries its own BackgroundFill, Borders, Corners, and TextRendering.

Every style object raises an OnChanged event whenever any of its public fields is assigned. The hosting control listens for that event on each of its sub-objects and asks the framework to repaint, so style changes made at runtime are reflected immediately.

Class	Role
Anchors	which sides of a control are pinned to the container when it resizes
Borders	an array of border strokes drawn around a region; carries the per-stroke Border sub-object
Corners	the four corner shapes / radii of a region; carries the per-corner Corner sub-object
Fill	the colour or gradient that paints a region; carries the FillColorPoint and FillColorPoints sub-objects that hold the gradient stops
Line	a single grid- or resizer-line stroke; a thinner shape than a full border
Padding	per-side padding around text inside a TextRendering
TextRendering	font, padding, fill, outlines, alignment, and overflow for text; carries the FontStyle sub-object that holds the font metrics

The style classes are declared Private Class in the CustomControlsPackage source — they cannot be created with New from outside the package, and a variable cannot be typed as e.g. Dim x As Fill from a referencing project. Application code reaches every style object exclusively through the property chain that hangs off a concrete control.
