Look and Feel

[Steve]

I must just be plain stupid. I found a app my Army budy made and I don't know
how here did this, unfortunately, he is in a tight spot so I cannot ask him,
so here we go.

On his switchboard, when you move the mouse over a selection it changes case
to bold, in desing view all I see is "=handlefocus(1)", can't find it
anywhere in any book I have does anyone know what this is and how I can
implement it in my apps?

Thank you in advance. Steve

1. Open the Switchboard form in Design View.
2. Go to the Code Window for this form.
3. Look through the code for a procedure called HandleFocus.

That is the code used when the mouse passes over the label.

From memory, I believe it bolds the font used in the label.
Similar type of code is used in the Form's Detail event to
reset the bold back to normal when the mouse goes off the
label.
