Under what conditions are they required and which one should be used when? ie. when adding IText or Border structures to an active gadget? when changing the ImageData pointer of an image? when fiddling with Window Flag bits? Oh ya! Is it okay to use the ExtData(sp?)(just before the UserData) of the Window structure form my own purposes? Thanx in advance for any response to these lame questions. ....Teeter
