Hi Craig,
>On idea #1, yeah I was thinking that might work depending on how smooth the results end up being. I saw something in here in the last week where I think Tamar was using a technique similar to this to set focus to some controls. I may look that thread up, she had it down to where you could save the mouse position and then restore it and if it looked really bad I don't think she would have done it. So there's that.
I think the thread in question was:
Controlling design-time focus

I'll share my thoughts on idea #2 in a separate post.
