You are right...
Clicking on your background window will activate it, and bring it to the fore, covering all other windows.

You might consider putting code in the "activate" event of the background to "show" all the windows that you currently have active, in the order you want them. That seemed to work when I tested it just now.

Thanks for the suggestion Russ.
Return true in mouse down event did not work. mouse up event is not set up for boolean return.

I believe that if you have the mouse down / mouse up events for that background window return true
without doing anything else,
then mouse actions in that window will be ignored.

I am using a full screen plain box window to cover the macintosh desktop. I want this window to remain in the background when other windows are opened. How can I make this background window ignore mouse clicks such that it will remain in the background when clicked ?
Thanks
Barrie
