Some clues are clienttoscreen, windows.DrawFocusRect and .boundsrect. the form's mouse X is different than the screen's X.

Could it be you wanting namespace? mainunithelpers.helpme in case you have other helpme procedures. I put drawing procedures in a routines.pas by adding arguments to the procedure being moved. The arguments use Timage, TPanel or TForm to reduce dependences. You simply pass the form you are working in to procedure into your routines.pas Unit routines uses forms; interface // Procedure DrawBackGroundBMP(const aWidth, aHeight: Integer; anImage: TImage); // TImage is best passing canvas is tough // procedure DrawthingsEX(athingList:Tstrings; aForm: TForm); //need to add forms to routines.pas // procedure DrawThings( aPanel:TPanel; Const FileandPathName:String; // aThingList:Tstrings; aForm: TForm); // A runtime control parent is assigned to aPanel and the controls onmousedown is assigned Aform.onMousedown procedure ShowBalloonTip(Control: TwinControl; Icon: integer; Title: pchar; Text: PWideChar; BackCL, TextCL: TColor); Implementation procedure ShowBalloonTip(Control: TwinControl; Icon: integer; Title: pchar; Text: PWideChar; BackCL, TextCL: TColor); const TOOLTIPS_CLASS = 'tooltips_class32'; TTS_ALWAYSTIP = $01; TTS_NOPREFIX = $02; TTS_BALLOON = $40; TTF_SUBCLASS = $0010; TTF_TRANSPARENT = $0100; TTF_CENTERTIP = $0002; TTM_ADDTOOL = $0400 + 50; WM_User = $01; TTM_SETTITLE = (WM_USER + 32); ICC_WIN95_CLASSES = $000000FF; type TOOLINFO = packed record cbSize: Integer; uFlags: Integer; hwnd: THandle; uId: Integer; rect: TRect; hinst: THandle; lpszText: PWideChar; lParam: Integer; end; var hWndTip: THandle; ti: TOOLINFO; hWnd: THandle; begin hWnd := Control.Handle; hWndTip := CreateWindow(TOOLTIPS_CLASS, nil, WS_POPUP or TTS_NOPREFIX or TTS_BALLOON or TTS_ALWAYSTIP, 0, 0, 0, 0, hWnd, 0, HInstance, nil); if hWndTip <> 0 then begin SetWindowPos(hWndTip, HWND_TOPMOST, 0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_NOACTIVATE or SWP_NOMOVE or SWP_NOSIZE); ti.cbSize := SizeOf(ti); ti.uFlags := TTF_CENTERTIP or TTF_TRANSPARENT or TTF_SUBCLASS; ti.hwnd := hWnd; ti.lpszText := Text; Windows.GetClientRect(hWnd, ti.rect); SendMessage(hWndTip, TTM_SETTIPBKCOLOR, BackCL, 0); SendMessage(hWndTip, TTM_SETTIPTEXTCOLOR, TextCL, 0); SendMessage(hWndTip, TTM_ADDTOOL, 1, Integer(@ti)); SendMessage(hWndTip, TTM_SETTITLE, Icon mod 4, Integer(Title)); end; end;

Could 3D shutter glasses be rewired for your needs. Just wire the shutters to shutter together to reduce brightness.

Design package DX still makes a BPL. Can the .dproj help switching the packages from 32 to 64 or hide them in mmx.

Hopefully the experts will comment further. Custom components need to have unique names and learning how packages work use a project group.

Is there a Unit1 already present in the source folder, if not in the Project? When creating a new unit, the IDE looks at existing units in the folder and chooses the highest unused sequential number. Or in the Default folders under Tools either shared repository or Default project.

Hey, It must be same issue as before you need to force repaint. The FMX.locationdemo updated location data when I changed from map view back to show location data.

procedure TForm1.LocationSensor1LocationChanged( ... // Translate location to address if Assigned(FGeocoder) and not FGeocoder.Geocoding then FGeocoder.GeocodeReverse(NewLocation); //As described earlier, after Reverse Geocoding is completed, an OnGeocodeReverseEvent is fired. From sample. I will bring out the win 7 machine with the FMX stuff on it but probably two days out. I want to make two FMX programs this year Phone app that caches local data or least miles from North pole and miles West of home when cell towers down or out of range. A program to read topo map from Garmin 600t would nice too.

I just tried the FMX.locationdemo on my android and the current address is working on that demo. So maybe try the location demo and try edit boxes on it to see what that demo does.

Ok from your sample is your likewise event happening and is then using cached data or simply not getting new data since in background. procedure TForm1.LocationSensor1LocationChanged(Sender: TObject; const OldLocation, NewLocation: TLocationCoord2D); var URLString: String; begin // code for previous step goes here // Show Map using Google Maps URLString := Format

On webbrowser side try a reload. Or the equivalence of the F5 key in a webbrowser.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Embarcadero\Studio\20.0\bin what error(s) does clicking on bds.exe show in above directory. I put a bds.exe on win 7 and its error message "xxx.bpl missing...Try reinstalling the program" Walk up the error messages displayed fixing the errors or simply reinstall.

If that's all you need just try show or set focus event to get the windows attention. I think it would work better without the thread your callback event would simply wait its turn behind mouse events.

I would put a breakpoint on the helper form.show line. Or simply drag the mainform around to see if the form is lurking behind.

Here's a screen shot of code realized.

These forms show using CB items being created once referred then after. Showing the CB dropdown using messages. Using the CB to navigate other forms using only one list.
