Quote: Currently I write my first component that should receive key-press-events (not the my first component in generel). My problem is, that this component (an direct descendend of TCustomControl) does not receive any key-press-message from the system, unless i set the focus to the component explitcitly (with MyComponent.SetFocus). The component does not get the focus by clicking on it. Can you show us the code for your component?

Unless the component has the focus, it will never get key messages, of course. Quote: The component does not get the focus by clicking on it. Correct. No where in Windows or the VCL do they actually do that for you. You would think it was perfectly obvious that it would be automatic. Quote: What to do ? Give your component a WMLButtonDown (right and middle buttons too if desired) method and in there write: inherited; SetFocus; Good luck.
