Value

Placards have three states: normal, pressed, and disabled.

Perhaps the most familiar use of the Placard control is as a small information panel, often placed at the bottom of a window to the left of the horizontal scroll bar.

Because this is a RectControl, see the RectControl for other properties and events that are common to all RectControl objects.

# Note

On Mac OS X, you can solve some display problems with Placards by turning on the parent window's Composite property. For an example, see the Notes on the Window class.
