Well, how do you like the fact that you have to pre-define all Windows API calls? I find that VB severely lacks in that regard. Having the Windows and Messages units makes my life a LOT easier than having to write: Private Declare Function TextOut Lib "gdi32" Alias "TextOutA" (ByVal hdc As Long, ByVal x As Long, ByVal y As Long, ByVal lpString As String, ByVal nCount As Long) As Long Also, I absolutely HATE the use of the ' as a COMMENT notifier and the utter lack of a multi-line comment in VB. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
