This is at least a hint to start with.

Too bad!!

Since I found nothing in the help about "extra item properties" I looked in

the source code and found several places of *ItemExtraIntProperty* but this

brings me nowhere, since I do not see the philosopy behind and I am not a

Pascal programmer (but C++).

I will try to set the the size of the Metafile pictures by the programm.

Since they are created by the program I can figure out the correct size.

Thanks for your support.
