The TRect and TXRectangle are defined as shown below. > Could I cast ARect's fields to remove the hint? No. The result of a substraction is always a signed type. Assigning this to an unsigned type will trigger the hint. Maybe abs() will do the trick, but I am not sure. What you could try to do is cshort(result.width):=ARect.Right - ARect.Left; Michael. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
