Simple Form Design Question - Surely!

A2010 - on an existing form I have a few controls that I want to hightlight. I thought I would create a rectangle covering only the desired controls and then make the back colour a light grey. But if I do then I cannot see the controls. If I change the back style to transparent then the colour reverts to nothing and I'm back to square one.



It feels like I want to bring the existing controls to the font - but how?



If I create new controls on an existing grey rectangle then it works fine.



Any help please

Thanks Dave
