Desktop Text Display 4

[MerryMadDad]

Hello, I would like to display a line of text from a list on the desktop, one line at a time with the option to choose the position of the text on the desktop. The text must be 'always on top' without any background, border, form, etc just the text itself. I would aslo like to change the font/colour of the text in case the desktop is the same colour as the text. Each line should display for a short time then disappear to be replaced by the next line in the list and continue in a loop.
I am using Delphi 4.

any help much appreciated

Thanks in advance

Hi Buho, Sorry I got your name wrong - my apologies - also to Aaron. Thank you for your help but I can see I'll have to do a bit more work on this

Any pop up window would be closed by a timer only - no option for user action.

I will need to create another post in the Windows API forum as I still need help with that too.

Thanks evryone

Kind Regards

Robert

If like me you have never done a Systray app then buho provided this link in his last post on the subject.
