Have you tried hooking WM_ACTIVATE (or cm_activate)?
If you trap WM_NCACTIVATE, you can prevent Windows from drawing your caption
is the active colour.
The other thing to try is to trap WM_SETFOCUS and call Windows.SetFocus (0);
This will prevent your window from receiving any keyboard input.
If you want to ignore all mouse input, you can trap the WM_NCHITTEST message
and return HTNOWHERE.
It all depends on what you want to do.

Dennis.
