Delphi Programming Tips and Solutions for Everyday Use

Thursday, September 10, 2009 -- 5:00 am - 5:45 am PDT

How do I get mouse wheel messages to the control under the mouse cursor without having to focus the control? Is there no way to position a set of edit boxes 4 pixels apart in a snap, when designing forms? How do I set a custom mouse cursor icon for my control or form, at design time? If these Delphi programming questions sound familiar and you wish to find answers to them, join me as we attempt to dig deeper into the VCL and Delphi to find out how some things work and how to tame them for our use. If these questions do occur to us, we certainly will have use for their solutions in every Windows application we develop.
