If so, then that's not a draggable window at all: the application changes the cursor, and captures the mouse (see SetCapture()) so that it gets mouse move events for the mouse outside it's window borders. It then hit-tests on each mouse move to find the handle to any window under the mouse, gets the window co-ordinates (GetWindowRect() on the handle found), and then draws the rectangle around the window by drawing into the 'DISPLAY' DC (See CreateDC). Of course, it may do it entirely differently, but that's how I would do it. Regards, Rob.
