checkbox tabstop

I have about ten checkboxes that are simply representing yes or no answers from the user. A user can tab to a checkbox and use the spacebar to Check or uncheck. However you cannot tell the checkbox has focus. When I tab to a checkbox you cannot see that the control is selected. How can I solve this?

I don't know what do you mean by selected ! but does this mean if a user checked or unchecked the checkbox ?

Anyway , to find out what checkboxes are selected , do this :

Dim ctrl As Control
        For Each ctrl In Me.Controls
            If TypeOf ctrl Is CheckBox Then
                If DirectCast(ctrl, CheckBox).Checked = True Then
                    MessageBox.Show(ctrl.Name)
                End If
            End If
        Next

No I mean when you tab to a control it is usually highlighted or outlined with a border.

Then , try GotFocus Event .
