True, and neither Vassilis asked you something... you can't understand 
him, but I can understand you. In one of your last mail you noticed that 
data controls don't have all the properties as other textboxes, such 
alignment and so on. Be prepared for other surprises. Everybody would 
love to have controls with lots of properties in order to do everything 
you want, but this is impossible (can you believe it? Once you have put 
100 properties in a control, you will find someone asking for the #101). 
Real programmers prefer to do things their way, with few versatile 
mechanisms. The more a component gets complicated, the less people 
understand it; just now, many problems arise from the fact that people 
don't read documentation, and even when they do, they don't notice some 
important feature; and often that feature is not exactly you need.

To Vassilis: I don't know what more to say about your problem. Better to 
wait for Benoit.

Regards to all,
