These are declares into the system level native Mac libraries. Unless Windows has these features in it’s system, you’ll have to make something on your own.

Create a custom control.

Create a custom control.

Take one Container Control, drop and TextField or TextArea on to, align it centrally in the container control and give yourself space. Remove the border from the TextField/Area, then use the “Paint” event from the Container Control to fill a rounded rectangle.
