Guys,

I am trying to create a move / resize effect by drawing a rectangle on the
window when the user is moving a picture box around. The problem I am
running into is that when I draw the rectangle, it gets drawn BEHIND the
control I am resizing / moving.

How can I draw this rectangle on top of the control?
Where should I draw to? should I draw to the form's GDI?
Is there a way to draw directly to the screen? (on top of everything)

Thanks!
