It sounds like TEdit may not work for you. It's
treating the | as a control character, not displaying
it. You'd have to derive a new TEdit to have the
features you need, or use a different component. You
could also look at the source code for Showmessage()
and GetLongHint, GetShortHint to find out how they are
able to extract the info you need, but it could be
deadend. Good luck :-).
