Hi!

Nadya, instead of positioning shape under grid, position it over grid to cover it. Then pass all mouse events from shape to grid using approach I did used for sorting indicator control in my SortGrid class. When you click on the indicator, the events from mouse are passed to form again so they forwarded to the control behind the shape. The code is not simple (uses API functions), and it was developed as a part of teh Fancy Tool Tip control.
