Custom border color and styles - BinaryExtendedText .NET supports setting custom border color, apart from being able to choose from two built-in border styles.  This control supports two different border styles, out-of-the-box, viz., Flat style and Flat style dotted. Apart from the extended border styles, the control also supports rendering its border in the Windows classic 3D style. By setting the DrawBorder property to Dotted style, you can have the control's border drawn as a dotted rectangle. You can also set the depth of the dots and the gap between the dots, by setting the appropriate properties.

Mouse hovering effects - BinaryExtendedText, while in extended style mode and when the input focus is not on the control, whenever the mouse focus moves over and out of the control, the control's borders are drawn and cleared respectively, giving a "Visual Studio" style control hovering effects. To change this default behaviour, you can set the control's ShowBorderAlways property to true, if you want the control's border to be displayed irrespective of whether the control has input focus or otherwise.

"XP" style, enhanced "Password character" display (Win2000 and upwards only) - When the control is in "password text" mode, you can set its UseEnhancedPasswordChar property to true, to display the text (password text) in a style, emulating the "XP style" popular block black dots. This feature is available in both "Extended" and "Normal" modes of display.

Border blinking feature - The control supports an out-of-the-box border blinking feature. You can set a color of your choice and a time interval, and ask the control to blink its border with that specific color and timer interval, and the control will blink until you ask it to stop blinking. This feature can be really handy in situations where you need to draw your user's attention to the text control - for example, to alert the user about an invalid text input, and so on. An example of this feature's use could be - as an alternative to using the Microsoft .NET Error provider control with a text box.  For example, when using BinaryExtendedText .NET control within a data grid or other data reporting control, you can attract your user's attention to the text box, by making the text control blink with an alterable color.

BinaryNumericExtendedText control - BinaryExtendedText .NET also contains another control BinaryNumericExtendedText, that allows only numeric input to be entered. This control also lets you define a numeric range in order to let you validate the user input.
