I want to assign a different style line type to my textbox in my vb
2005 application. Below I assign the backcolor to black how would i
do this for the line style????


readingLabel.ForeColor = ChangeReadingColor(CType
(newGraphics.readingLabelArrayList(intloop), Label).Text, CType
(newGraphics.readingLabelArrayList(intloop), Label).Name)
readingLabel.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Black
 
Not without the Pens and the paint event, you have to draw a rectangle
around it.

Could you place it on top of a slightly larger Panel? Give the Panel a
background color that will make it look like the Textbox has a wider
border.

Dennis that is also a really good idea and I thank you. I thought
there would ahve been some sort of property to get from the textbox
control, however no worries....I really do appreciate all the help and
suggestions
