A TShape red rectangle is ideal for that. It's not a Windows control, so it will always be behind a TEdit. On the button click, resize and reposition it so that it forms a red border round the relevant TEdit: my_shape.Left: =my_edit. Left-4; my_shape.Width: =my_edit. Width+8; my_shape.Top: =my_edit. Top-4; my_shape.Height: =my_edit. Height+8; my_shape.Visible: =True; deal with the control, my_shape.Visible: =False; Martin. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
