>But Dmitry, why would you want to change the text? Users understand what a checkmark in a CheckBox means and changing the text when its state changes can only result in confusion. Example: say your CheckBox text says "Subscribe To Newsletter". By checking the CheckBox, the user has opted to subscribe to a newsletter. After they've checked it, what would you change the text to? It wouldn't change to "Unsubscribe", because then it would appear that they've marked a CheckBox that says "Unsubscribe", but they wanted to Subscribe, not Un.

It will be my pleasure <g>. I already mentioned before that I have a check box on my VFP form that when checked says "Active". And when unchecked it says "Inactive". The caption to this check box says "Project Status". I know that you will say "this is so obvious, why do you need this redundancy?". I do, believe me, with my customers, I do. You won't believe how many times - even with this redundant caption - they call me and say something like "How come this project is not showing on the report?" Even though it clearly says on the form "Inactive". So I need to make the forms in WinForms work exactly (or as close as possible) to the VFP form.
