Hi all,

I need to have a arrow move from one control to another?
How do I draw a arrow on the screen on top of one control and then move it
to the middle of
another control? Always appearing on the top.

thanks for your help
Gerry

IMO the best way to do this would be with a simple NativeWindow class using
the WS_EX_TRANSPARENT style and maybe the LayeredWindow API. Drawing on the
desktop is also possible but in my experience gives many undesirable
results.
