Yes, you are right. I was trying create a complicated solution to a simple problem. My app allows to draw vectors and I'm adding the ability to add text to the drawing, in a similar way as CorelDraw or Inkscape. After the user clicks on some point, a TEdit was drawn and the user can start typing. I solved the problem by showing a dialog with a TMemo to let the user type. This way the actions of the main form aren't involved. Thanks. -- Leonardo M.
