just a little cosmetics, the owner is passed in the Create method. Also, if the owner is freed, all owned components are freed, too. This does not depend on the parent property.<br />
Generally, all components on a form are owned by the form. If e.g. a label resists on a panel wich resists on a form, the owner property of all two components is the form. The parent of the label though is the panel, the parent of the panel is the form. And normally all forms are owned by the application and have no parents (except MDIChild wich has the MDIForm as a parent).<br />

If I create a BitMap with:<br />

Bitmap := TBitMap.Create;<br />

is it automatically freed when application ends?<br />
And, who owns Bitmap created in this way<br />
