>>Hi,

>>I have a window/form that has many check boxes. Each check box has a caption. I want to add a text box at the top of the form so that the user can search for any check box caption which contains the entered text. For example, when a user enters "fox", a method of the form will scan all check boxes and check if the caption has the word "fox." So far, it is all fairly easy to do.

Does your solution seem practical, Cetin? You have a need to visibly highlight search criteria. For some reason highlighting the entire control is not a viable option, so partial matches are needed. You already have a VFP system in place with a form that works. You're trying to add one feature on top of that existing tool.

Why would you go to create an HTML based UI to accomplish this add-on?
