Thanks Adam and Dan,

I've tried playing around with the code you posted Dan, and it's just what
I asked for, but I should have asked more carefully, because I need
something a little different.  I have one routine that does rollovers,
dragging, and resizing for ALL the win32lib controls.  Since STATIC class
controls don't respond to WM_MOUSEMOVE or WM_LBUTTONDOWN events, my code
only works properly on about half of the win32lib objects.  I guess what
I'm looking for is to get down and dirty in the Windows API and figure out
how to either create a STATIC control that responds to the mouse using
CreateWindowEx(), or to build a class that looks like a static control, but
is really something else (like an editText or whatever.)  Hopefully, I've
explained myself more precisely this time, and there's someone who has got
some ideas for me.  Thanks again guys, and from now on, I'll try to say
what I mean...

Brian
