Alastair, While not directly responding to your question, I use a different background color when the control is focused. That way the user can tell when the control is focused. I don't believe it is available for all controls but it is in DB-Edit and Variable-Edit.
Also you can right clik on the object and change the cursor style. There are also PROPERTY commands for the cursor position in some objects. Something like PROPERTY mycomponent FIRSTCHAR 'TRUE' places the cursor at the first position in the object.

Hi all, I have a form which, at some times, displays a combobox, a speed button and a (variable) image in a group box. In this format the mouse is not always visible or, sometimes, turns to a double ended arrow. The combobox opens automatically and when the mouse is not visible the items do get highlighted so can be chosen. I have recently changed this form from a wide format (1200x600) to a narrower one (600x400) and now use property commands to show or hide items depending on a choice made on what used to be the left-hand side of the form to display what used to be the right-hand side. It works great and is much neater - I just can't always see the mouse cursor. Has anybody come across this and have any idea what might cause it and/or how to resolve it? (v7.6) For no real reason I have assumed that it is something to do with the image but I can find no setting that might affect it.
