Okay, fine. In addition to the title bar "x" to click close the form, you can now use the space bar to toggle the form on and off the screen.

Added more comments to the final example.

No bugs detected so far, but if you click to drag, but don't drag, on release the shadow appears to go darker for a millisecond. I'd like to see what is causing that, and eliminate it if possible. Either that, or re-code the drag part to only take place if the mouse has moved during the left button event. That's pretty easy to do. (Fixed now.)

Found a way to do the job without a mask. See last code box in the first post.

well done

Or as Steve would say, "Well,... done." Big Grin

Thanks, and thanks again for the demo to turn the text into a hardware image. Initially I though that might slow down the typing input, but I'm glad I tried it, because it types just fine. I really can't see any speed difference, so that was pretty impressive.
