Assuming you're trying to wrap the whole field...
Ya need a global rectangle type ...
RectangleType displayRect;
and here's a sweet little wrapper...
/***********************************************************************
* FUNCTION: SetRectFromField
*
************************************************************************/
void SetRectFromField(Word
dID){
FieldPtr fld = FrmGetObjectPtr(FrmGetActiveForm(),
FrmGetObjectIndex(FrmGetActiveForm(),fieldID));
displayRect.topLeft.x = fld->rect.topLeft.x;
displayRect.topLeft.y = fld->rect.topLeft.y;
displayRect.extent.x = fld->rect.extent.x;
displayRect.extent.y = fld->rect.extent.y;
}
then call it like so...
SetRectFromField(ThisIsMyField);
WinDrawGrayRectangleFrame(1,&displayRect);
