TextBox border color?

[softwareguy74]

I'm trying to figure out how I can change the color of a TextBox border...
I searched for help on MSDN and it mentions that

"BorderColor applies only to a text box or edit box when the SpecialEffect
property is set to 1 - Plain."

However, I tried using the following but it tells me that method or data
member not found:

Text1.SpecialEffect = 1
Text1.BorderColor = &HFF0000

I read in a post that someone suggested putting a label behind the text box
but I don't want to do that.. It just seems like to much hassle..

There has got to be a way to do this natively within VB without using 3rd
party skin software.. You can do it in Access...

any help would be appreciated..

There is no BorderColor for either a text box or rich edit control. I'd imagine the "SpecialEffect" could possibly be the Appearance property of the control, which you can choose either Flat or 3d.
