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?
