\\\Taken from newsgroup with Jacob Grass a little bit changed for VS2003
Private Sub form1_Paint(ByVal sender As Object, _
ByVal e As PaintEventArgs) Handles MyBase.Paint
Dim g As Graphics = e.Graphics
Dim pen As New Pen(Color.Red, 2.0)
For Each ctr As Control In Me.Controls
If TypeOf ctr Is TextBox Then
g.DrawRectangle(pen, New _
Rectangle(ctr.Location, ctr.Size))
End If
Next
pen.Dispose()
End Sub

Hi Cor,
That's a nice bit of code. Yup I created a user control and applied the
same code in the user control's paint event, it works fine. Does it
affect the loading performance of the screen. Is there any sample code
for making a combo box as a flat type with colored border

Thanks in advance
