Thank you for the reply. This answer was what I was afraid of. If there are any NI engineers listening, then this is one of the things that iritates me about Labview, the fact that it doesn't incorporate the Windows Look and Feel at all. I realize that it is a cross platform product, but a simple GroupBox would be a great feature to have.
With a GroupBox you don't have to worry about whether the box is in focus, or the stuff within it. The label is part of the box, placed on the upper left hand corner of line. Saves the programmer effort by not having to figure out where it looks nice and moving two things all the time instead of one. I realize that VI's are supposed to look like instrument panels instead of GUI programs, but obviously users want the typical GUI stuff as well (hence the addition of native treeview, progress bars, etc.) How about a simple GroupBox next time? </rant>
