You could possibly hide the mouse cursor when the mouse is over your special area and just draw the rectangle yourself. You will have to get rid of the rectangle and restore the mouse cursor when the mouse moves out of the area. I'm guess these things can be done in VB, I know they can be in C. - don ------------------------------------------------------------------ Don Hackler - donh@shakala.com Shakala BBS (ClanZen Radio Network) Sunnyvale, CA 408-734-2289
