I want to make a form where I have a painting area and a couple of buttons on the left
if I click on a button I want to be able to drag it to the painting area and drop it
then I want to get the left and top and create a button on this place. then I intend to bring up a dialog (property sheet) where I can add some other properties to be saved in a table.
this is to lay out a custom form of action buttons.

has anybody done something like this and is willing to help?

drag and dragdrop seemed to be th places to hook into but they seem not to fire :-)

Thanks
