Anatoliy,

Thanks for the link. I tried the code. It is fun!

You're right that it is not practical when you have a native button already. However, a text box or edit box with a handle would be useful when one is trying to change the caret etc. unless VFP provides a property which allows to to specify an image for the caret.
