- If its not in a dialog box, it is trivial... Just put up a window where you
- want it, with whatever you want in it, and no border... It can be made
- to appear transparent. Then just process mouse messages.

- If its in a dialog, you will need a custom control... Outta my experence.
- (If you are using borland, though, their custom controls allow this
- quite easily.)
