ShadowColor property

Remarks

The color used to render the shadow under the button when the ShadowMode property has a value different from SHADOW_NONE (0).

If you leave this property to an undefined state (-1), the API will be able to calculate the optimal shadow color in relation to the current surface color.

This property can also be applied to modify the color used to shadow the sunken effect on a custom shaped flat button.
