Ok, I tried copy/paste with windows explorer, my ISP connected, Netscape Navigator, my source to copy from and IDE all up and going at the same time. I've also got sufficient RAM. No problem with copy/paste. I've tried different lengths of data to copy. I've used ctrl-c and ctrl-v and the menu 'copy' and 'paste' and combinations of them. I'm using windows98 SE; I dunna know if that makes any difference. Please let me know your results.... Concerning the Pixmap request... I have IDE changed so that Bitmap/Pixmap class may be picked from Properties. It will be in the next release. But this led me to another thought. Right now, none of the controls can go negative x,y. Often we use Pixmap and other controls 'offscreen' so that they are hidden from the user. IDE doesn't account for that. If you enter negative x,y the control will be placed at 0,0. Probably something I need to think about. No problem making the x,y negative but the control couldn't be drawn on the design window and then you couldn't click on it to make additional changes.
