Is there an easy way to make a custom control (or any window for that 
matter) that can be moved.  I would like to use documented functions, 
but if undocumented makes life a lot easier, that's fine too.  I tried 
to do something as capturing mousemove messages of that window, 
testing on MK_LBUTTON and moving the window with MoveWindow.  This 
gets pretty complex because of different coordinates etc.  I was 
wondering if anybody knows an easier way.  Of course all this work has 
been done for the title bar, but how do I access that code?

You can e-mail code examples to me, and post solutions to the net.

Thanks...
