Stupid. I have known for 25 years that you just disable the frontmost object.

Wasn't there a discussion a while back about a property (or trick) of a control 
that would allow, say, a mouseUp message to think that
the object wasn't really there, and so the message would pass to a control that 
underlay it?  So if I had a graphic
that was on top of a locked field, and I clicked on the graphic, a mouseUp 
message would pass right through the graphic
and be picked up by the field? A sort of messageTransparent property? 


For example, getting the clickLine would be direct. I can always send the 
message to the field from the graphic,
but I seem to remember a cuter way.


Thanks...
