I understand your doubt about my need, but... although my English is
not very good, I know exactly what I want, and it is exactly what I
need: it is described in my first message.

Ok, I will explain. The solution which consists of use TFrames is
exactly what I'm trying to overcome

I Have a very large -and highly configurable- application developed
with many instances (sometimes 10 in each "configurations Forms") of a
little "component". This "component" is really a TFrame.

This TFrame contains:

1 TRxCheckList (RxLib)
1 TLabel
3 TBitBtn

The little 3 buttons are

- Select all
- Deselect All
- Invert selection

All users of my application are accustomed to this UI (the little 3
buttons "of" this CheckListBox) so, I decided keep the buttons in App
now, we are making changes:

We are improving the aesthetics of the application via Woll2Woll
1stClass. All forms will have "skins" (TfcImager.Align = alClient) and
transparent controls. All CheckList's will become TfcTreeView (A
TTreeview with optional chekmark in each item).

I Could keep the scheme TFrame and their "subcomponents", but then, I
would have to put a TFcImager in each TFrame (sometimes 10 or more in
each Forms), so that the skin looks uniform. Each TfcImager of each
TFrame would load a Bitmap in memory, the same bitmap that loads the
Form.

So I decided to get rid of TFrames and Implement the 3-button within
the same component.
I already consulted with Roy Woll about my problem, but it does not
seem answer mails when it are about to descend of his components.

Then,

- It's not a TTreeView, is a TfcTreeView,
- It's not a TBitBtn, are 3 TfcImageBtn

What I did to write my first post was to simplify the problem:
TFcTreeView and TTreeView are TWincontrols descendents. The problem is
the same. I want to put a button (any button) inside a TTreeView (any
TTreeView). But this button makes a scroll, until Repaint. Exactly as
I explained in my first post:

Thanks all and sorry for my bad bad bad english.
