A problem THIS IS THE COPY PAGE with VB.Net Projects is that the Group Box Line Border will default to a specific colour, and there is no Property option on this item to change Border Color..
In this lesson we solve this problem by making our own custom Group Box and save it into the VB.net Toolbox by creating a "Class" called "myGroupBox.vb" and adding the required coding.
We are then able to add our Custom Group Box onto the Project Form to replace the standard VB.net Group Box.
Finally we add a "Border Color" property to our custom Group Box by modifying the coding in the "myGroupBox.vb" Class.
