• Visual Basic Focus box for radio button

  What is the magic word you have to say to coerce radio buttons to have a focus box (dotted rectangle) around them when they have the focus Depending on the phase of the moon or perhaps whether Cody (my Old English Sheepdog) is under the desk, they sometimes are there and sometimes aren't. I would have thought that padding and margins were the relevant factors, but they don't seem to be. Regards, Al This is actua ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Clipping text in a GUI

  I'm currently designing a graphical user interface for a game, and got a problem when I implemented scrollbars. Rendering only parts of the graphics in the interface (when part of a GUI element is outside the viewable area of the window) was simple, but doing the same when using the DrawText function seems much harder.
