Hello, CFB!

CS> No it's not just you. I hadn't noticed it before as I use the mouse 99% of
CS> the time.

CS> If anybody wants to investigate why it is happening in BlackBox the
CS> following information might be useful:

CS> This behaviour (as I coincidentally discovered recently when testing
CS> applications on Windows Vista) is somehow tied to the way Windows XP
CS> optionally suppresses the appearance of underlined characters until you
CS> press the ALT key. Similarly the focused control is supposed not have the
CS> visual clue until the system detects that you have used the TAB or arrow
CS> keys (instead of the mouse) to navigate around a form.

CS> See
CS> http://blogs.msdn.com/oldnewthing/archive/2005/05/03/414317.aspx for
CS> more information.

  Thank you for the pointer, Chris!
  Knowing all that, I see one distinct problem with BlackBox: it does
  not start showing focus rectangle after the Tab key is pressed. The
  rest of it works quite as expected.
