Did I mention Active x controls? I don't think so but yes you're right. And also as I may have already mentioned the method I used in the example I gave with Lockbox was a simple one because the design-time component itself doesn't provide anything visual that you really need to optimize in anyway. When you get to visual components it's a lot tougher and unless you already know the component well enough to wing it they can be difficult to create, parent and setup just the way you want them to look! But I'm always surprised when I see questions here and elsewhere from long-time Delphinians who don't know how to create visual components and make proper use of them without doing so via the design-time component, so if you're in that situation, here's a good chance for you to learn!
