Merges settings of the specified Border object with the current border with the option to force a merge if the settings are defined in the current border.

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Overloads Overridable Function Merge( _ ByVal o As Object, _ ByVal force As Boolean _ ) As Boolean

Visual Basic (Usage)	Copy Code
Dim instance As Border Dim o As Object Dim force As Boolean Dim value As Boolean value = instance.Merge(o, force)

C#
public virtual bool Merge( object o, bool force )

Parameters

o: Object whose settings are merged with the current border
force: Whether settings are overridden in the current border

Return Value

Boolean: true if successful; false otherwise

Remarks

This method merges settings of the specified Border object with the current Border object with the option to force a merge if the settings are defined in the current Border object.

If you set the force parameter to True, each property is copied from the specified Border object to the current Border object if the property is defined in the specified Border object. If you set the force parameter to False, each property is copied from the specified Border object to the current Border object only if the corresponding property in the current Border object is not defined.

If you always want to restrict the merging of settings to occur only if the settings are not defined in the current Border object, use the Merge(Object) method.

Example

This example merges two border objects.
