Robert C., thank you for your answer to my OSX Button Draw bug question - the Robert Purves code that you posted does indeed solve the problem. I now have to decide whether it's worth the complexity of implementing it for a minor cosmetic improvement. as you said: > Someday a kinder gentler FB runtime might just handle all this for you. One can only hope. Thanks, Walter -- =========================================== Walter Lenk Cambridge Ma 617-547-7781 ===========================================
