Reading border shape in Pert view

[permal]

I'm using the BoxFormat method in a MSProject 2003 macro to set the
appearance of tasks in a Pert view. Before overwriting old information
I would like to find out what border shape and colour the task has. I
can not find a property giving me that information. Anyone who can
help?

Regards, Per

There are a number of properties which are write only in Project. I'd
suspect that this is one of them.
I'd read the task properties (task.summary, task.critical etc.) to determine
what the formatting should be.
Custom formatting is probably not something you can deal with in automation.
