Mike, I always do my checkboxes in this way, as I don't like the way that their text changes to disabled when the control gets disabled, making them different to other disabled controls on the form. Unfortunately, as indicated by someone earlier in this thread, there is no way for the user to determine when the control has focus.

They consider a dotted border around the caption is not visually acceptable. The only way I can prevent it, is not to have a caption but a label next to the checkbox or radiobutton. Which then means adding a heap of unnecessary labels onto the form.

You mean the line that gives the user a visual cue as to which control currently has the focus? Why would you want to hinder the user that way? Newer versions of Windows already hide the focus indicator, but as soon as the user starts using the keyboard for navigation (pressing Tab or Alt, or using the arrow keys), the focus and accelerator-key indicators re-appear. -- Rob _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list -> [email protected] http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/delphi _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list -> [email protected] http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/delphi _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list -> [email protected] http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/delphi
