However this does not work in the MouseWheel event – anyone knows what to do about MouseWheel?

The only issue is that it goes behind the listbox window when you click. Adding a whint.close on mousedown fixes that though. It adds a little window flicker as things disappear and appear, but a little experimenting could surely fix that.

I don’t know how this wold look on Windows but when you change the window type to Floating Window and set some properties to true you should get after the compilation a nice Floating Window without controls like bar, close button etc… May by on MS Windows you must experiment with some options And one more thx for commenting

This isn’t quite perfect on Windows (even without transparency) – the title bar is still on the window and it just doesn’t look quite right. But it’s a good start to get something going if I needed to do this! Thanks…
