Hi Trevor, How about you post your code on this list? I am interested to know too.

What you need to do is create a descendant of a TPanel and override WM_ERASEBKGND to get the controls underneath it to paint themselves as you panel's background (including gettting the parent of the controls under your panel to do its own erase background). I have some code that does it, but there's too much of it to post here, and it may be overkill for what you are trying to do.
