I tried posting to the wxpython-users list but I'm not sure it worked nobody replied anyway.<br>
Here's my test script:<br>

)<br>
self.hasShape = False<br>
self.delta = (0,0)<br>
<br>
self.Bind(wx.EVT_PAINT, self.OnPaint)<br>
self.Bind(wx.EVT_MOTION, self.OnMouseMove)<br>
<br>
self.bkground = wx.Bitmap("/home/adam/bkgrnd.gif", wx.BITMAP_TYPE_GIF)<br>
w, h = self.bkground.GetWidth(), self.bkground.GetHeight()<br>
self.SetClientSize((w, h))<br>
self.Bind(wx.EVT_WINDOW_CREATE, self.SetWindowShape)<br>
panel = Panel(self, w, h)<br>
panel.Show()<br>
dc = wx.ClientDC(self)<br>
dc.DrawBitmap(self.bkground, 0,0, True)<br>

if evt.Dragging() and evt.LeftIsDown():<br>
