Why hack when, as Kyley has already suggested, you can simply download the Jedi library and **look** at the implementation to the TJvaCaptionButton to figure out how it's done? Perhaps you don't even need to reinvent the wheel, perhaps they might even provide a base-class that you can inherit from to get just the caption functionality you want?

To clarify this more. YES it does, BUT if you have say a delphi app. that handles the drawing onto another form, the active one, because the delphi app. will be running hidden, it does not trap the active windows repaint or whatever messages. I actually found a hack for this, and thats to use a timer. If I draw the date and time onto the caption this works fine because the caption changes every second. Its alos flicker free which is good.
