Thaddy, thanks for the advice.
What I did notice was that the mouse cursor became sluggish when I tried to move and position the controls. Cursor actually got stuck and then somehow some type of auto captioning was taking place (variables were being named label1). Also did not realize that there was a separate checkedlistbox (Vb6 only has one).
Still need to also work out:
Focus on Tedit after inputting to listbox
Moving multiple listbox items up and down
Moving to top and bottom of list
Randomizing items
Colouring of listbox items (text color and back cell color)
Screenshoting particular components and hiding others.
Columns in listbox.
Still lots to learn, but finally getting the hang of it.
Lastly, I have had problems with the form not opening up after double clicking the project file (so I need to Open the pas file manually every so often to get the form view back again). Not sure why this is happening? Sometimes, I also get another form from a different project loading. A bit frustrating. I tried to install Lazarus 64 bit with 32 bit addon but found I was getting corrupted data, so I wiped that and just installed the 32bit compiler. I do a CloseAll and the New App, but still get those problems. Perhaps it is the config file? (although I went to my profile and deleted those as well). Feeling like I'm going round in circles to fix this problem. I'm running AMD A9 CPU. Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated to try to fix this form loading problem.
