I've come accross what looks to be a bug with TScrollBars, or atleast, a behaviour I seriously dislike... In a custom component I'm writting, I've created to TScrollBars, to provide scrollability to my drawing canvas. When the scrollbar has the focus, it flashes on and off showing it has the foc

Is the delphi example of shell contexts menus no good ?? Demos\ActiveX\Shellext ?? This seems to have many of the registry keys required. There is an example on the Delphi Super Page, don't remember if it has source - allows you to register OCX & TLB files from the right click in explorer. Myle

See Delphi Magazine, Issue 15, Nov 96, p 44. (Everybody should get a copy of their back-catalogue on CD!). I'm afraid it looks rather too complicated to summarize. Perhaps a search on the Delphi Super page for "Shell Extension" or "context menu" might bring up something helpful? Cheers, Kerry S

Delphi Exception handling is definately not thread safe, and 90% of the VCL is not thread safe including some of the thread management routines. I have no experience with COM. Maurice -Original Message- From: Myles Penlington [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, 3 May 1999 09:03 To:
