How to make check box obvious?

[Ron Carr]

When I tab to a check box there is an almost invisible indication that I am
there: the label is outlined in dots. How can I accentuate the fact that the
check box has the focus?

A couple options...

If you change the text color, text size/bold, or back color of that label,
it would be more obvious.

Or possibly creating an empty and unbordered textbox behind the checkbox,
then changing the backcolor of the textbox.

Good luck!

Ron,
Many ways to do that. One popular method is to change the color
of the text control's label.
Use the OnEnter event of the checkbox to change the color of it's
label...
Use the OnExit event of the checkbox to change the color back...
