Re: [Lazarus] TLabel or TStaticText?
Thx all, a TPanel is the solution for my problem. mvg Frans van Leeuwen M 06-51695390 Op 15-3-2019 om 15:14 schreef Tony Whyman via lazarus: Using a TPanel as a container is generally good advice for similar problems with all TGraphicControl descendents. I often use a TPanel to contain a TImage for this reason. Perhaps the point that needs to come across is that TLabel is a TGraphicControl and is drawn by the LCL, while TStaticText is a TWinControl descendent (as is TPanel) and is drawn by the underlying "interface" e.g. GTK2. They thus behave differently e.g. with Z-order.

I thougth of that, but I need the focus on the original form.
