What you want to do then is to have the panel capture the mouse so that all
mouse actions go to it rather than the window handle under the mouse. Have a
look at the Windows SetCapture and ReleaseCapture API's, and Delphi use of
these in places like the Mouse.Capture property, and the SetCaptureControl
function in Controls.pas.
You will also need to handle WM_CANCELMODE messages appropiately, and in
some cases generate your own WM_CAPTUREMODE messages to ensure that all of
your capture state handling remains correct.
