I agree with the screen hooks, and sympathize with your concerns: The unsupported way seems more elegant to me than BINDEVENT()...

However, given what you've got, how about using BINDEVENT() to keep a shape object covering the whole _SCREEN space by binding to the Resize event, and then use the OLEDragDrop event on the Shape object? (or, if you need wallpaper, the OLEDragDrop of a Picture object...)
