This property is in the Background property group.
bgRoundness
Sets the arc length of the rounded corners. This property is only available if the bgStyle selected is Round Rectangle.
The value of bgRoundness cannot exceed half the value of the objWidth or the objHeight. If bgRoundness does exceed that value, half of objWidth or objHeight (whichever is smaller) will be used instead. For example if objWidth is 100 and objHeight is 50, then the value of bgRoundness cannot exceed 25. If it does, then half the value of objHeight (25) will be used instead.
