need boxes around elements

I have a form that does not have boxes for the elements. If the color is white then I can't see the size of the box. I tried several things in the property editor but couldn't seem to get the proper results. Is there a solution to this ?

Thanks for any assistance.

What does it have?

You may have FLAT style with no borders.

How about changing the color of the form from white?  Click on the canvas, in an area that you don't think you have an element.  In the Property Editor, select the tab for Color.  Make the value in the Set Combobox = Backfill.  Choose a color.  Now you should be able to see the elements.

Select all of the Elements
Back to the Property Editor.  select the tab for Look.  Change Box Style from FLAT to a style with borders, like Bordered..

Thanks Bob

The boxes are flat and I do have them colored - that is how I can see them. Previously everytime I tried to change from
flat I kept missing the bordered option. Blind as a bat I guess.
Works fine now.
