Barry,

csDesigning is a flag which you can ask only in components. It tells you in which mode your component is. If you add your component to a form without running your program, csDesigning is set. If the program is run (in Delphi or outside Delphi), it is cleared.

The Stealth code is implemented as a little component, and the csDesigning call makes sure that your application is only hidden when the program really runs, and not when you design the form in Delphi...

Regards and a happy new year... Madshi.
