how to prevent reflect of 'mouse-over' in checkbox?

[Nifrabar]

Hi!

I am using checkboxes to inform uses about status of a field.
The user may not change that field.
Therefore I put return .f. in when-method which is OK.
But...
Once I move the mouse over the checkbox there is (XP) a reflection of the mouse visible in the checkbox which is unwanted.
How to prevent that?

I think you are refering to the "Yellow-ish" outline in the box that appears when you mouse over.

There are two fixes:

1) Make the checkboxs disabled when not in a mode that can be changed. (This.Enabled = .F.)

2) Turn off Windows Themes for the control with:
This.Themes = .F.

I assume you are using VFP9.

Scott,
Agreed.
Problem and VFP9 is as assumed.
I am going to give it a try and will inform accordingly.
