Re: [perl-win32-gui-users] Painting non-graphical controls

[Jeremy W. <jez...@ho...>]

Hi,

My 2cents.  Can't you create a dynamic control (within a transparent window) that is created on the fly when the user moves a mouse over an 'image' of the control? 

Can you say what the app is?

Cheers,

jez.
