A button click event now changes the button state to grey whilst I drag/resize it. Deselecting the button switches it back to its original state. Unfortunately, this way means I can't click'n'drag an unselected button. I need to first click (to select it) then click'n'drag. Also, Robert P's no hilite fix doesn't give me a live drag. The button goes invisible during the drag. Bernie
