titleDescription

This function is used specifically when binding a Border property on a component. Typically, this is used with a Container or Label component but can be used on any component that has a Border property.

This function takes a string and converts it into a border. The string must be a semi-colon separated list of values. The first value is the name of the border, and the other values depend on the type of border you use. The following table defines the border types and the arguments they accept.
