What do you call a "spotted rectangle" should really be defined. The "pointed box" does not add anything to understanding of what it is, only confuses.
Perhaps, this is a problem of English usage, then you can get an idea what "spotted" and "pointed" mean:
For example, "spotted salamander" means with spots on its skin: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spotted_Salamander
and "pointed hat" (in the form of a sharp cone, as if it "points" upward like an arrow): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pointed_hat

Not close to what you mean? Then you should use different word and provide exact definitions. :-)

Besides, you should point (pun unintended) to an exact type of "ListBox". There are different but similar types named like this. In all cases, you need to tag (should I have said "spot"? :-) your application type or the UI library in use (WPF? Forms? Silverlight? ASP.NET? what?).

Please, no offense. This forum and many members including myself belong to different cultures and are very tolerant to mistakes in English, as well as most native English-speaking members; there is nothing terrible in making them; it's just some things should be formulated more or less accurately to make things understandable and avoid unwanted waste of time.

What you are most probably talking about is the dotted line around the selection of a listbox. There is a discussion on SO that talks about how it can be achieved to omit having that dotted border:

WPF: Remove dotted border around focused item in styled listbox[^]. Refer to Jobi Joys answer.
