Questions on Frames

[RhodyRich]

Is there a way to change the color and thickness of the border for a frame? I can change the text font, color, background, etc but I can do nothing with the frame border

Also, how do you set items, such as option buttons, to be grouped in the frame?

Other than setting its style to flat or applying XP Themes a frame is pretty much just a frame.  Also, a frame is realy just a Control too...actually in the same family as Option/Check Boxes- Button.  As such it can't group by itself like I'm assuming you have seen in VB, etc.  Option Buttons themselves can be grouped easily in FF though.

Make your Frame that will go around your Option Buttons.  Then Button Options buttons in the area you created.  (This doesn't link the option buttons to the frame)  Then in the Option Button's Properties give them all the same Groupname and increment the Index values how you want.  (In the current version of FF2 you also have to consider the Z-Order/Tab Order [order you create the controls] too if you add another at a later time and put it in the middle of the others and not the end sometimes th eZ-Order overrides the Index and they will move wrong when ran)
