Drawing Attention to a Control to aid user in Error Recovery

An app I'm developing has a multi-tabbed window.  Sometimes one of the Error Recovery Options is to click into some tab and adjust control Foo.  And in many cases, either due to the complexity of it, or to help the user learn where the control is, I want them to actually do it themselves, using the control.

So, when a user clicks the Recovery Option "Change Foo", I reveal the tab, and then I'm thinking that I'd like to maybe draw a red outline around the frame of the control.  Are there any API, Apple or other frameworks that I should consider to do something like this?

How about that fat blue arrow which Apple uses to direct users to menu items after searching in Help?  Any way to get ahold of that?

Thanks,

Jerry_______________________________________________
