Hi Tim.

I assume it's working as designed but if I set the following TPanel
properties:

ShowBorder:=True;
ShowCaption:=False;

then the panel is displayed with a border but no caption as expected.
However if I set them as follows:

ShowBorder:=False;
ShowCaption:=True;

then neither the border nor the caption is shown. I would have expected to
see a floating caption bar with no border around the panel. It appears that
ShowBorder controls both the border and the caption to some extent.

This also appears to affect TForm.

Any chance you could change the processing so that the mentioned properties
only affect the attributes they are associated with? I could use floating
caption bars with no container borders.

Thanks.

Yes, ShowBorder controls both.

Yes, but after the initial release.  I'm not going to be changing any
behaviors before the initial release.
