By default it is True and therefore the StateActive is applied all the time. At design time it always shows as Active so you need to run before seeing the difference it makes.

There is a kryptonmanager and a kryptonpalette associated with the form. I want the each control's borders to be Orange when that control gets focus, which should get back to normal when the focus is lost. - The textbox's Inputcontrolstyle is set as Standalone. - So I set the KryptonPalette->InputControlStyles->InputControlStandalone->StateActive->Border->Color1 to (255,128,0) in the properties box. When I do this all the textboxes on the form show borders as Orange in design mode! and also on running the form the borders stay orange for all textboxes irrespective of focus! Can you suggest what am I doing wrong? I have version 2.7.1 of the toolkit. Thanks in advance. I have several Krypton text boxes on a form.

You need to let the underlying Win32 control do the actual drawing of the text and therefore you are limited to specifying a single text color. Also if you let the control draw the text you automatically get the background as well. Thanks for the article but it does not really help.

Couldn't we do the same for borders and background (and even Text as well ?)... ? (just a question, I'm not an expert in Wforms controls rendering like you are so ... ;-)) Thanks anyway for still improving the Toolkit!
