Radiobutton and Check box attention awareness (OpenInsight 32-Bit)

In our production system, when attention comes to a check box or a radio button, a little dotted line appears around the text associated with the object. In our development system, this does not happen. What determines whether or not this happens? I'd like to get both systems to act the same.

Are there themes on the desktop? Are you using the oinsight.manifest.exe?

There are no themes on the desktop. I have no idea what oinsight.manifest.exe is. It doesn't show up in the documentation. What does it do?

Okay, the answer is yes. The one in the production system is identical to the one in the development system. I deleted it, but didn't notice any change in behavior.
So I don't think this can be causing the difference in behavior.

look in your 'openinsight' directory and look to see if you have that file (and the date)
if you don't or it is older than this year let me know and i will email you a copy

I take that back. I am able to see that when the manifest is there, the little black dots do not appear and when it isn't there the little black dots appear. Is that really the only thing the manifest file is for? That's the only difference in appearance I can see. It doesn't seem to have any role in any other issues of appearance.
Next question: Can I – with the manifest file present – control whether or not the little dotted lines appear?

Ha! I take THAT back too. I put two systems side by side and now I see (now that I'm in XP mode) the differences.
But my question remains. How do you control those dotted lines?

Wayne,
The dotted lines are placed on the check box when the item has focus. When the item loses focus it should remove the dotted line.

Wayne,
If you're running OI 7.2.1+ then you should always see the focus rectangle on a checkbox or radio button when running under XP visual styles and the said item has focus - this is actually *forced* by OI.
The reason they don't appear in earlier versions is that MS changed the behavior and made it dependent on how the user navigated to the control. This is described in more detail on The Old New Thing here along with the reasoning in this postthat annoyed quite a lot of people, myself included… :)
