Thanks, Jez. I hadn't thought of that! What styles do you use for the child container windows? Does tabbing work as I had hoped?

I also noticed a problem when displaying your example when running with XP styles turned on, so something is not quite right. To achieve a similar effect, I use child windows as "containers" for a group of controls. In your example, I would create a child window which has the group box and the other controls. Moving the child window would move all the controls. Cheers, jez.
