Hi,

try this:

FrameBox[ {2, 3}] // DisplayForm

or:

ButtonBox[{2, 3}, ButtonFrame -> "DialogBox"] // DisplayForm

and:

m=Table[Random[Integer,{0,9}],{4},{4}];

GridBox[m,ColumnLines\[Rule]{False,False,True}]//DisplayForm

or:

RowBox[{"(",GridBox[m,ColumnLines\[Rule]{False,False,True}],

       ")"}] //DisplayForm
