Thread: Extended ASCII Characters in an RTF Control

Or, is there a better way to make a portion of my form appear to be in outlined boxes?

There is no such thing as "extended ASCII." The box-drawing characters you refer to come from the IBM PC-8 character set.

There is no key you can press to generate these characters any more than there is a key you can press to generate any arbitrary character in the universe.
