Nah .. that didn't work either .. Thanks alot anyhow ..

On a broadermatter do you know of anyway to have more than one mouse cursor active at any time. I've checking the MSDN for anyway to do this but it seems ther is only one mouse service which is shared between all applications on the system.

An alternative would be to be able to generate mouse events in an App without using the system's mouse messaging service.


>>Yes .. both in the code to move the cursor and in the form's Paint event .. the VB documentation says it has three differnt "classes" of zorder .. graphics, labels and images and then stuff like buttons, textboxes, picture boxes etc. It seems this appears to overide everything else.
