Since disabled windows cannot receive focus, he may have no choice but to use global mouse and keyboard hooks to track window changes and test for when the user is trying to click outside of a modal window. Offhand, I cannot think of any other way to do it, since I do not have BCB available at the moment to play around with this issue. > You can see this effect if you display any help page, click > contents and then try to return to the help page while the > Contents/Index/Find window is still open. I still do not see any such blinking occur. Perhaps it is an OS-specific thing. I am running Win98SE when I try this. Gambit
