Hi,
You know how when you're designing a form in VB and when you click on a control to either move or resize it, 8 small blue grab handles appear on each corner of the control?
Is this a Win32 API thing that I can do? At first, I just figured that it was a custom drawing thing that the control vendors did. But I noticed that the size and color of the blue dots are totally identical between a bunch of 3rd party controls that I just tested. So it leads me to believe that this is a Win32 API thing.
I would appreciate it if someone could give me a small example of how to do this. What I would like is a text box placed on a form and when the end user clicks on it, the blue grab handles appear.
Any help or direction would be greatly apprecaited!!!
