Cursor visibility -- dotnet windows forms

I have three check boxes next to each other. When I tab from a textbox to one
of these check boxes I would like to have some visible representation which
check box has focus.
My default cursor is a vertical bar, which is not visible on a checkbox.
I am not able to see a focus rectangle. Maybe my checkbox has the wrong
background color.
I would like to be able to see which check box has focus.
Each checkbox represent a separate false/true value.

If I use the text property of the checkbox I get the rectangle on focus. If I
use a separate label control as a prompt, the rectangle is not visible.

Typically the focus is indicated by a focus rectangle. I suggest to provide
more details on what happens and what you want to archieve.

Well, this is by design.
