Folks: Actually, I like the method of putting a transparent rectangle over the stack window and trapping all mouse events. That makes the number of places where I have to modify my code much smaller. I have multiple buttons on the screen and they each call a number of handlers. I just thought there might be a command to disable mouse messages. Best, Bill
