Any help would be greatly appreciated. This functionality is not in Win32lib because I haven't figured out how to do it yet. I've tried the obvious ways but with no luck. I've read some Windows programming books but they just avoid this area too. I think it has to do with owner-drawn controls but that looks complicated. I know that a lot of apps can do this type of thing but I haven't a clue really on how to do it. If anyone has some ideas, don't be bashful. ---- Derek.
