control grab handles?

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!!!

This may give you some more information.
Look for Resize Handles Demo under Control Stuff section.
