The unit order in the uses clause already determines which identifier is chosen when you do *not* specify a unit explicitly. So just make sure that LCL's TButton is always the default one and you can still use your own TButton by prefixing it with your own unitname. All you want is already there and seems to cover 99% of the usecases. -- Andreas Schneider -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
