Thanks. I'll be having fun with that later in the week.

Kathrine:
In the case of malwarebytes, the problem of the checkboxes is solved
simply by labeling the graphics that represent the checked & unchecked
state of the control correctly. There are indeed issues of setting
focus properly to appropriate places in the program. It also does not
respond as well as might be expected to the tab key, which suggests a
good tab order has not been programmed in.
1 thing u might find helpful is to make certain that Malwarebytes is
maximized on startup. That way, it'll tell u accurately which tab is
focussed.
I think these thunder hoozee-wutzus controls are from vb, but I'm not
sure about that. I'm w/u--they'd make our lives a lot simpler if
they'd just use standard windows controls.
