Martin, I hadn't considered doing a DetachObject/ReattachObject solution; seems that it would work, but you'd still have to do a ClearWindow to get the imagery correct. As I recall, the individual asking the question wanted to allow the user to 'build' their own interface on the fly. The solution that I would offer in this regard (at least involving buttons) would be the DrawBorder command, and control all the buttons yourself. That isn't too tough, and would allow the user to select their own styles of buttons, locations, size, etc. The program would need to make the whole screen a big 'button' so that one could check where the mouse was clicked, and then activate the DrawBorder command for hilighting the button, running a routine, etc…. Drawback of this is that there is no corresponding string input command, document command, etc. The user would need to roll their own routines to duplicate the CanDo functions. Daunting. At least one could allow the user to somewhat customize an interface, etc. Talk with you later. ttfn
