You can use a rectangle with a line width of 2, in a layer higher than the field, and
the same color as your card. Set the rect of the rectangle like so:
put the rect of fld "someField" into tRect
put 2 into tAmount
subtract tAmount from item 1 of tRect
subtract tAmount from item 2 of tRect
add tAmount to item 3 of tRect
add tAmount to item 4 of tRect
set the rect of grc "hider" to tRect
As long as "hider" is above "someField" you won't see the focusRect, at least on my
Mac you won't :-)
I have a stack that shows this, if I haven't been clear.
Right now doing this plays hob with the insertion point -- the cursor goes away for
me. I'll write that aspect up more formally as a bug report.
Obviously this would be a less wonderful solution if you had the field over graphics
or something. But for a solid color it works.
