The latest builds of Mach can provide this functionality. There is a new DLL in the Modules directory called screenipc.dll.

Steve, are there any docs for the ScreenIPC API yet? I'm hoping I can lookup a UI control by name and see what properties are supported by the control.
I have a problem where I'm using a background image on a notebook tab. The image is a representation of the work area of the machine and probing operations that can be done on it. I'm using transparent bitmap buttons to overlay the control areas of the image that you can use to select probing operations. There is an odd shift in the image (up and to the left) by two pixels along the edge of the area of the transparent image. The effect is to cause the background image to look like it's jagged and messy. I have reported it as a bug, and Brianna said that it was a know issue. I suspect it's a border effect that has been applied to the button and causing the shift. I was hoping to overcome the problem by setting the appropriate property of the bitmap buttons.
