SYMPTOMS
========

Increasing the FontSize of a check box at design or run time results in
displaying the check box as a 2D check box. The thicker border on the left side
disappears. This occurs even though the value of the SpecialEffect property is
0-3D.

CAUSE
=====

The border for the check box is not wide enough to accommodate the check box.

WORKAROUND
==========

Use the Autosize property for this control and set it to .T. (True). The
Autosize property specifies whether a control is automatically sized to fit its
content. It defaults to a .F. (False) value.

For more information about the Autosize property, search for Autosize using the
FoxPro Help system.

STATUS
======

This behavior is by design.
