Nabil, thank you for your response.
I picked labels just as an example. Ultimately, my intention is to replace textboxes with a custom made object (class) that will display, let's say a label and an image with captions/pictures based on the control source property value.
Moreover, I like the mouse pointer to be an arrow when moving over the grid (which is what labels do), and not the annoying I-beam.
I tried creating a container class that emulates the grid behavior by displaying images and labels on the form, unfortunately it is to slow on refreshing/scrolling because of too many objects on the form.
