Details

Drop shadows can be used to make controls appear as though floating above their parent control. They can also be used to create a glow like effect, typically behind text, or a border to highlight a focus edit.

Dropshadow is a visual effect and does not alter the fundamental size of the control.

Controls with a DropShadow are clipped to ensure they fit within the bounds of their parent control.
