Henrik,
That is eactly how it is done. The black box you are talking about (the outline
of the control is darker than usual) is the program showing you which control
has focus.
A different way to do this is create a string control (right click on it
and select 'update while typing') and a string indicator. Give the control
focus . Hide the control off screen on the front panel. Wire the control
to the indicator (which should be located where you originally wanted the
control). As the user types, the indicator will update, looking like the
user is actually typing in that box. It will not have focus so it wont have
that ugly black box you speak of.
I hope this helps,
Jared
