>Of course I have a Delete button, but I'm so used to the delete button being where the backspace button is that it would be very helpful to have BACKSPACE act like Delete. You can also change the color of a line or outline by right-clicking a color swatch on the color palette. I suspect it may be difficult though since you need the backspace key to act like a backspace key in text functions.

You can also specify line settings from the property bar or the Outline area of the Property manager docker. To view the pattern on your object, try increasing the pattern Width value and decreasing the outline Width value. If you were to select the characters that had been backspaced over, when you output a new character, it will erase what was selected. You can also set the selected area of the textbox, there's a selection start and selection end property, I believe.

If the pattern Width value is too low, the pattern might not appear as expected. You could perhaps use SendKeys to send backspace You can replace the chr(8) with Keys.BackSpace.
