> Anybody have a scheme to share that will make the check box easier to tell when it has the focus? If different colors are used,they need to stay within the users control when they change their color scheme in the control panel.

Most of the interface properties for a checkbox will have little effect if there isn't a caption. You could add a caption on the gotfocus and get rid of it in the lost focus. Something like this:

GotFocus()
This.Caption = IIF(This.Value,"Yes","No")

LostFocus()
This.Caption = ""

InteractiveChange()
IIF(This.Value,"Yes","No")


An easier solution would probably be to have a caption. :) It's definitely more standard.
