DragDetect

There is a questions in this message:

DragDetect is interesting in that Microsoft states that

The system metrics for the drag rectangle are configurable, allowing for larger
or smaller drag rectangles

the drag rectangles being SM_CXDRAG and SM_CYDRAG.
returned by the GetSystemMetrics function.

Now I have been trying to implement DragWin that PatRat did for Win32lib
but for use in Standard API.

The Problem:

How do you change the values for SM_CXDRAG and SM_CYDRAG
so that DragDetect recognises a larger area retaining the mouse capture
and allowing the continual use of the function until Mouse button release?

please dont give me a doEvents( ) contained in Win32lib as a work
around / replacement routine.

Thanks,
Euman
