Well, I can tell what you're generally trying to do, but it's not clear exactly where you are getting an error. If you would like to post the details of the error you're getting (and any additional code that would help to make sense of it), I'd be in a better position to help.

tahkns for the help. Its mean that what i was doing is write i am making my own charts . The reason why , which you have asked , The answer is that i have devoloped the clases for printing so what ever i draw on the panel will go as an output to the printer. And the project on which i am working is a document formatter which is connected to some data sourse and the charting facility like Acces is a main module for the project. so Thats why i am doing all my own.

Sir Rage of Rage-shire, thou art a God! P*sser number 1...when the System.Design shows up with other stuff, like it's already referenced. Things like that just lower your trust of things you take for granted as being straight forward. Ah well, onwards and upwards. Oh by the way...I solved my problem of icons for my controls not showing up in the toolbox. I renamed my controls, to divorce them of any old stuff in the registry, and guess what, yep, you don't have that surprised look on your face, so you know...it worked! P*sser number 2, follow the rules but if your registry is strangely screwed for whatever reason then its gonna bite yah! 8-( As soon as I referenced system.design explicitly the new uitype designer stuff was all plugged in. Thanks a million! Nursey

no but thank you for you help

ClipBoard.Clear ClipBoard.SetText rtfText1.SelRTF ,vbCFRTF

If you want to use the form as an information area, you can also try the following: '//////////////////////////////////////////////// '// StayOnTop '// '// This subroutine will force the form to stay '// at the topmost level. '// '// entry: flgActivate enable OnTop TRUE '// disable OnTop FALSE '//////////////////////////////////////////////// Private Sub StayOnTop(flgActivate As Boolean) Dim SetWinOnTop As Long Dim myFlag As Integer If flgActivate Then myFlag = HWND_TOPMOST ' Make this the topmost window Else myFlag = HWND_NOTOPMOST End If SetWinOnTop = SetWindowPos(Form3.hWnd, myFlag, 0, 0, 0, 0, &H1) End Sub

Kamush, Thanks, but that's not the answer. First, I have already exposed the text box as you say by making it public. But two things, firstly when the programmer changes the properties at DESIGN TIME, the windows designer doesn't seem to generate code to effect those property changes at run time. I don't know why. Second, I asked, can my PANEL control expose all the events of the TextBox. My feeling is it can't, without inheriting TextBox, which I can't do because I want a panel that CONTAINS a text box. As I said, this kind of makes sense but its frustrating. or....I still don't understand something, and your answer is right, and my understanding of it is wrong 8-) Thanks. Nursey

:-O Thanks a lot. It works
