The active control is not the container. The active control is one of the contained controls, which you didn't name. One of your own experiments revealed that. When you exposed the Name property of one of the contained controls as a property of the container, you saw that ActiveControl.Name matched the value you assigned to the container's new property. I thought you noticed that; that's why I stopped paying attention before. > 3. This is my third try in this forum. So I am not phrasing the question > well, or I am asking in the wrong place.

Have you tried borland.public.delphi.vcl.components.writing.win32? -- Rob
