Hi Pete! I have always believed that the VCL contains standard Win32 components which have been improved by Borland to make life easier for programmers. Therefore, the inputbox (which is a visual compnenent) is not part of the VCL because it is only a wrapper around a standard Win32 component. The Editbox, on the otherhand, is part of the VCL because it takes a standard Win32 component and improves it (passwordChar). If you look at the help for Tedit and select properties, you can see those properties which come from TCustomEdit as opposed to the properties from TWinControl, or Tcontrol.
Hope this clarifies things. Tom Nesler Live long!... Code Well!... and Prosper!...
