In VB6 I have a panel with a 3-D border... set to window color... inside it a Label that has a fillcolor and also a 3D border.... thus the label looks kind of like a text field with blue background nested inside the panel.

In RB, I can use canvas but there is no 3D border for it??? I also looked at Rectangle.

And the Label does not allow a fillcolor... so converted to TextField and can use FillColor that way.

Anyway trying to convert this part of my app and am struggling with what to use... if I use a canvas I can drawrect a border but it still won't have any 3D look to it will it? Just 2d flat black or gray???

Suggestions appreciated as always.
