Why don't you use a real tool tip? > I worked pretty well until I decide to move/integrate that 'tool tip' > inside the TMyStringGrid component.

Of course, BringToFront don't work in this case. Don't make the panel a child of the grid. It shouldn't be a child of anything since it needs to be able to extend beyond the bounds of the main window, too. It needs to be a popup window, in Windows API terms. -- Rob _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list -> [email protected] http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/delphi
