How to: Create a Border Around a Windows Forms Control Using Padding

The following code example demonstrates how to create a border or outline around a xref:System.Windows.Forms.RichTextBox control. The example sets the value of a xref:System.Windows.Forms.Panel control’s xref:System.Windows.Forms.Padding property to 5 and sets the xref:System.Windows.Forms.Control.Dock%2A property of a child xref:System.Windows.Forms.RichTextBox control to xref:System.Windows.Forms.DockStyle.Fill. The xref:System.Windows.Forms.Control.BackColor%2A of the xref:System.Windows.Forms.Panel control is set to xref:System.Drawing.Color.Blue%2A, which creates a blue border around the xref:System.Windows.Forms.RichTextBox control.
