Not considering the disabling-of-the-desktop feature, the actual visual effect you're talking about, didn't it just draw every second line black similar to the following example, or did it do something fancier?
var Row: Integer; begin for Row := 0 to Pred(Height) do begin if not Odd(Row) then begin Canvas.Pen.Color := clBlack; Canvas.Pen.Style := psSolid; Canvas.Pen.Width := 1; Canvas.MoveTo(0, Row); Canvas.LineTo(Width, Row); end; end; end; -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:owner-delphi@;delphi.org.nz]On Behalf Of vss Sent: Wednesday, 6 November 2002 10:30 To: Multiple recipients of list delphi Subject: [DUG]: Win9x logout type screen Hi all IF ytou can remember back to windows 9x when you wanted to shut down, it gave you another screen that you selected what you wanted to do, BUT the important thing, is it drew like a curtain in the back ground to disable the whole of the background. I remembered seeing a control that did this back I think either delphi 1 or Delphi 2, but ti was a DCU, and the auther never replied back then, so I doubt they will now :-) Has anyone seen code to draw the background like I am wanting to do?
