This code should alter the way a information is presented, not the information itself to avoid incompatibilities. That was my first approach but I discard it due changing internal data. -- Best regards, JoshyFun -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
