Back in the old days we didn't have these problems...
And I was not referring to laws on paedophilia, but instead of skinning forms for computer owners who have their Windows Operation System set to drag an outline rectangle instead of the whole form.
When I now proceed to drag my little skinned thing which one could only call a 'thing' its size increases and it becomes a rectangle, confusing the poor brain-dead incompetent blundering harlequin who will inevitably end up using this: Me. Okay, and perhaps some others.
However WinAmp has perfected the art of dragging normally (no little dotty rectangle is displayed)
And if you or any of the technical genii at NullSoft could inform me, o petty me, o meagre, pitiful me, as to how this can be achieved, I would be greatly ... chuffed.
So there.
Thank you for your time.
Time is money.
Money is knowledge.
Knowledge is power.
Thank you for your power.
Wait a minute...
I'd like to use some of these smilies...

Thank you.
Perhaps I encouraged misunderstandings.
Sorry since I clearly took too many liberties in my explanation, Aaron; I will write my letter with a more logical approach:
I have a skinned form.
I use the APIs:
Code:
Call SendMessage(frmMain.hwnd, WM_NCLBUTTONDOWN, HTCAPTION, 0&)
Call ReleaseCapture
To move the form about since it doesn't have a title bar.
HOWEVER, Windows (ME) still thinks it should give my form one of those dotted-outlined-rectangles which are a result of not checking the 'Show Window Contents When Dragging' box in Control Panel.
WinAmp, however, moves as if the aforementioned checkbox HAD been clicked.
How do I do that?
