    Thank you for a project, I will check it soon.

    In AC 13.17 the combobox now shows a focus rectangle a3.gif

    But the checkboxes only show a faint line at the right hand side. A full focus rectangle was what you intended, I understood. Maybe you can reexamine the source for this.

    There are skins that do not need the focus rectangle. Look at Material Dark, who lights up the surrounding square in a contrasting color. A focus rectangle there would be overkill.

    In other words, maybe the skins need some change.

    Could you show a screenshot with bad focus rectangle, please?

    If you run the acSetFocus project, I included, after some tabbing you will end up with this: [attachment=8838:FocusCheckBox.jpg]

    Try to find where the focus is.

    The problem is that check boxes without a caption are not highlighted.

    The skin should be changed, to highlight the check box itself, not its possible caption.

    I'm not sure checkbox will have a good look in all skins in this case (if glyph is in rectangle).

    Standard checkbox doesn't shows a focus rectangle at all. Maybe just do not show it if caption is empty?

    I was wrong, standard checkbox shows same small rectangle if caption is empty.

    Absolutely not. That's the worst method.

    Have a look at the way check boxes are highlighted in Material Dark skin. You should invent such highlight for other skins too, I think.

    I see what you mean, but 100+ skins must be repainted for this feature.

    Standard checkboxes shows same small rectangle.

    That's why we choose AlphaControls.

    This is a list of skins that are already OK:

    Air, AlterMetro, AlterMetro2016, AlterMetro2017, Aluminium, AutumnSky (not very pronounced though), Bejing, Bejing Ext, Black Box, Blue Shadows (a bit vague), BlueGauze (also a bit vague), Blue Glass, Blue Ice, Canvas Dark (CS), Capuccino, Clean Card (somewhat vague), Clear Sky (CS), Cold (bit vague), DarkMetro, Deep (bit vague), DeepPurple, etc. (I stopped checking because so many are already OK).

    So, not 100+ skins to change…

    Some skins have a changed checkbox already, some skins – not.

    More time is needed.

    Not much improvement in 14.02
