I'm not sure if you are making what you want to do clear. Start a timer on formcreate? Why can't you perform the necessary options as the last thing formcreate does? What are the settings going to achieve? Is there a property on the form that you assign a value gained from paramstr(1)? Do you have post and pre-conditions on the form that gave need to a timer option?

But unfortunately there is a problem that the form is not created yet, so you cannot pass parameters to the component settings (my parameter contains a bunch of settings). The obvious easy solution would be to start a timer in the program which fires a few ms after formcreate has finished, checking to see if paramstr(1) has a relevant string, but that is too easy and a waste of a timer. Is there anything else I can do which is more program-sense? I prefer that the form is not visible at all. But the call would still have to wait till all controls are enabled before progressing to the settings area.
