With that info, Isn't that about the same quest as what's needed for scanning a form for text items? You need a list of components on the form, i.e. those components that have the form as their owner. That''s about the same requirement that the "formscanner" utility had to sole, and it soles it by using the built-in mechanism proided by the "getchildren" function of a number of components of msegui. (Unfortunately, it's not a member of the top "tcomponent" class, but there are a few independent class hierarchies inoled anyway, so that wouldn't help either.) A quick search finds definitions for such functions at: - kernel/msegui.pas; - kernel/msedatamodules.pas: - kernel/windows/mseguiintf.pas: - widgets/mseforms.pas: > I can easy create a custom form with the X11 methods XDrawRectangle() > and XFillRectangle(). For Windows and gdi it is nearly the same trick. > > How could I get this list of position-size of each component (only > the child-components of the form, not components inside > child-components) ? The "getchildren" functions of those component classes needed for your purpose had to be made available for such a component scanner, e.g. by the fpc mechanism of a "class helper function", and bound together into a new class to provide access to the required data. > The goal is to create a new myform.optionswindow: > "wo_transparentbackground" (or wo_transpback). Maybe this could be a way to go? (BTW, there are some revised items on my web site for you.) -- (Weitergabe von Adressdaten, Telefonnummern u.ä. ohne Zustimmung nicht gestattet, ebenso Zusendung von Werbung oder ähnlichem) ----------------------------------------------------------- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, S.
