>We have some pages that only have listboxes on them and nothing else. Each listbox may have 1 or more items. Because the currently selected item in the listbox is highlighted in both boxes, you cannot tell which control currently has the focus easily. Is there anyway to change the means of highlighting to more easily point out to the user which listbox has the focus? I have added comments in the statusbar text property that doesn't seem to be visible enough and the highlighted row suggests otherwise.

With only two listboxes and nothing else, I wonder what that form might be used for. But to answer your question instead of mine, why not steal a page from default command buttons, and put an outline around the selected listbox. Two shape controls behind them should work, or just one if you want to be really clever.
