Hi there Don,

On #1:
Did you find out how to create a window leaving out the WS_VISIBLE style?
Didnt i post something like that a little while back?
If not just let me know i'll look it up again.  It's not hard really,
but it's easier if you already have an example.

On #2:
This shouldnt be too hard.  Look for the place where the slide show
enable flag is located and see if you can detect that in an if/then
statement like:

(inside the event function where the mouse right click is handled)
if ssflag and not(SS_Done) then
  call ss mouse handler
else
  call regular mouse button handler
end if
return 0
end function

On #3:
Im not clear on what you mean here.  Do you mean you want to somehow
make the mouse buttons return to normal operation after the slide
show is done?  If so, then when would you consider the slide show to be
done?  Perhaps set a flag when done and use in above event?


Does all this sound ok to you?



Take care,
Al
