You need to type cast to the type of the component you added or one that declares the properties you want to access publicly. var lComp: TMarcoCombo; begin ... lComp := TMacroCombo(mCommands[index]); lComp.align := alLeft; lComp.ItemIndex := 0; ... end; cheers, Jeremy _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list -> [email protected] http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/delphi _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list -> [email protected] http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/delphi
