Yes, I see what's happening, and I've already done lots of similar stuff, but it's a grab situation, not quite what I wanted. I want the _palette_ to dock such that it moves with the standard window, just the opposite of what's happening here. Drag the main standard _normally_ by its titlebar, and have the palette move with it. I don't really want it as a live grab, but rather the normal desktop ghost move, because, as it works in the example, it messes with the screen redraw under it. I think the grab is fine for the use it has in the example, but in my situation, the palette is for navigation, opening and closing windows, and searches. It's OK for it to travel docked into a window, but I also need to drag it normally by its own titlebar and pull it free from the mothership. All it does is stuff I would need to do in each open window, but without having to repeat the same set of nav buttons, or open a separate search dialog, or...well, you get it by now, I'm sure. The docking business is just for convenience. But the routines in the example are on the right track, and may end up being the only type of solution, if I can't come up with something to continuosly retrieve the window loc under normal Windows drag conditions.
