I have had problems with setting up these activex controls at the client site. Most of the times, they give some sort of usage errors for registration and proper licensing. As I am working on a demo copy which I would like to send to several persons, I am looking for a more fool-proof solution. May be I am not right on my fears. Can you give me more information on it and how to curb such problems?

Then, add buttons somewhere in the container for up,down,left,rigth and have these buttons changed the top and left properties of the picture in the container. This works nicely and if you use your LockScreen properly it will work cleanly.


Hmmm! That could be one of the solutions. I will try it out. Also do check the approach suggested by Gérald. It's interesting.

Thanks,
