Thanks Anatoliy - love the hat - I will cruise your links!

I have been messing with the WM_SIZING message (START (WM_ENTERSIZEMOVE), resize in progress (WM_SIZING) and resize end (WM_EXITSIZEMOVE) and it's for real. I was expecting a series of starts and stops like the form's resize - but it behaves as hoped - when the button goes down on the edge of the form - there is "1" start message - then a bunch of in progress messages - until I let the mouse up and then the "stop sizing" message.

What an amazing feature.

Now I am wondering how I can hook a BINDEVENT to monitor "activities" in the OS (XP) PORTs collection.

The BINDEVENT / Windows Messaging "feature" is nothing short of amazing. I am fantasizing - thinking about all the thngs that we can now do with a COM. I think we can do anything now. It's really Amazing - I could eat up a year with that feature and still not explore every opertunity it may present - thanks for the links.
