Hi Jamal, <snip "By convention, HomerJax variable names use lower case prefixes to indicate the data type: s for string, i for integer, n for floating point number, l for list, d for dictionary, and o for other COM object." PL] I see what you mean. I missed that portion of the documentation since I searched for the method name and tried working out its syntax. I ama also spoiled by Microsoft's superb documentation so I tend to expect all other documentation in the same level of detail. <chuckle I am finding homer .net very useful since I can now add controls as I like without messing about with forms and doing all that positioning math.
