How to use frames?

[Bummi]

You can create them at runtime and set the parent.
I on my own prefer using forms and setting their parent.
The only advantage is that you can place frames at designtime.

Zitat von Bummi:

The only advantage is that you can place frames at designtime.

And that it works in all cases. If you place a form on another one you can get into trouble when using certain mouse drivers. And you have problems with some theming tools, because for example they try to paint a small border even if you disabled it. Or try to add transparency under XP.

Since some of my users had such problems I avoid such dirty tricks like placing forms on other ones.

Oh, I see, thanks guys.

I have just one question: on frame I have color selector. How can I assign choosed color in "real time" to any color property on main form (selecting color from image by mouse down and moving cursor)? When I want to modify object it's simple, because I can do it by pointer, but how about simple types?

I added var FColor: PColor. When picking color C := SelectedColor and then FColor := @C. Don't changing.

Please open a new thread for a new question. This one has got nothing to do with 'Frames'.

Okay
