O$ creating a drag rectangle on the thick client

[Mike Matthews - Omnis]

I think Kelly (of course) has a drawing tool to do this.

Hi Everyone,

I'm working on a feature where I want the user to be able to draw a rectangle onto an image on a window in the runtime.  At the moment it's pretty basic - I can track the mouse down and mouse up events, and then it draws the box.  However, it would be really cool if the user saw a rectangle as they moved the mouse after clicking mouse down - like drawing a box in a drawing program.  For double bonus points it'd be awesome if they could later on select the rectangle and resize it.

I don't think there's any functionality in Omnis that allows us to do that in the runtime.  Has anyone done something like this in the past, and are willing to share?

Regards,
Paul.
