The same is true for containers, frames and picture boxes. What I need (in lieu of multiple cursors if that isn't possible) is a object that will float overtop of all other objects (ala a mouse cursor) and has a transparent background.

Hi Rob,

What you mean by multiple mouse cursors? If it's a cursor with multiple images at the same location, that can be done by creating an appropriate .cur file and setting it appropriately (either through an object's MouseCursor property or the API). At separate locations is another story.
