I've just gone through and applied the suggested code (see below) to every
single control involved in the app - and the problem has disappeared
(without implementing your suggestion of inheriting from [PictureBox]).

So YEA HA!!!!!

But - I have a question. I don't really understand what setting these flags
do. Is this going to impact upon performance (or generally be bad) in other
ways if I do set these flags on all controls. Should I be a little
judicios?

Thanks everyone.
