Hi all,
I have an arrangement of windows that I do not want the user to move.
What is the best way of doing this.  There are several ways I thought
of but they are not very elegant.  Can someone point me in the right
direction?

The right direction is *probably* to rethink your design. If the user sees what looks like a normal window they're going to expect to be able to move it like a normal window and they're going to fill your days with support requests when they find they can't. Actually most of them will just curse under their breath and delete your software at first opportunity.


If you don't want a window moved, don't make it look like a window that can be moved. And that sentence alone gets you almost all the way to your goal.
