Bob,

Thanks, but I'm trying to do this without third party tools (otherwise
I haven't learned anything!)

I've implemented some tedious math and used DrawSelectionFrame and
DrawGrabHandle as well as handling OnPaint, MouseMove, MouseDown, and
MouseUp.  Does this sound like the right way to do it?

Right now I have everything on a single form, but I guess I could
create a separate control.  I assume that it would have to be separate
from the control that it encapsulates, since it will be outside of the
control's client rectangle.  So far I've managed to handle translation
and resizing of one control.  Now I need to handle multiple controls.

Bob,

Perhaps you can answer this question.  I would like to encapsulate my
sizing frame in a control, but I do not want it to be a parent of the
control that sits inside it.  I want to handle mouse events on the
frame itself, but anything that sits inside the frame should be handled
separately and is not a child of the frame.  I also don't want to make
the form a panel - that is, the control that sits inside the frame
should have coordinates relative to the parent form, not the sizing
frame.

Any thoughts?
Keith
