Hi,
I suspected as much, I have to use Fill Rect because I need to have the complete background a different colour. It's not a problem, just it would have been really neat if somehow the rect could filled beneath the text, so too speak.
Thanks,
Fergal

|Are you talking about the background of the box or a border around the
|box? If the former, then you have to redraw the text because the
|FillRect will paint over the old text. Also you will need to change the
