Hi All,

Any suggestions on how to determine what control is currently being clicked
on? The catch is that the control may be disabled. I guess what I'm
looking for is a way to translate the screen coordiates into a reference to
a control (whether diabled or not).

TIA

Matt B.

Did you already check the form's 'GetChildAtPoint' method (untested)?
