Are you sure, Remy? I doubt that. If I click a control in the
IDE, it doesn't get focus (no focus rect!). A button doesn't 
get lowered and raised when I click it, a radiobutton doesn't 
get checked when I click it. Do you think they intercept all this standard behaviour somehow?

Well, thinking about it... maybe I could lay a totally trans-
parent form on top of the other, thus preventing any mouse
operation on my original form and its controls.

What would you do?

Has anybody else a solution for my original drawing problem?
Or any good advice?
