What type of control to use

Hello all. I'm having to do something I haven't done before and I don't know
what type of control to use for this. This is basically like the "Title" box
that you get in an MS PowerPoint slide when you add a new slide. You get
that box that you can just type right into and the font is usually pretty
big and bold. Is this just a textbox control or some other type of control?
I can certainly enable a font dialog on a double click so that shouldn't be
a big deal..

Any suggestions?

Steve

Sounds like a styled textbox.  :)  Although, in powerpoint, they probably
use an in-house custom control to create it...<shrug>

Why doesn't a standard text box control work for you??
