I've done a little math: you've loaded a 240x320 24bit BMP; The same amount of space would be required to hold 300 16x16 images or 133 24x24 images. I think you're kind of miss-using MS's TImageList if you add large (240x320 is large) images to it. This control is designed to efficiently hold

Increasing Font Size in Dialog Box's

Just a quick question... Is it possible to change the size of the font within the standard MessageDlg dialog boxes? I'm asking, because i'd like to increase the font size, but do so within all messages, including any dialog box that is presented due to an application error.

If you waqnt to use the _standard_ MessageDlg you should regard the font as being the user's choice, not yours, including large or small fonts, 96 or 120dpi etc. If you want something different, create a modal dialog of your own design. HTH Glen -Original Message- From: [EMAIL

One more thing. The Stream Class as a private member called FMemory : pTByteArray; You could cast your struct directly do that member and access it like you normally would, just be sure you do a Lock/Unlock before. I just use the Stream methods everywhere since that's what I'm used to. Mark
