Hi Veronika,

I based my code around Snippet 64 "intercept mouse events (drag a button 
with the mouse)", where the moveable composite's enabled()-property is set 
to "false" and where the mouselisteners are also registered at the 
parent-container of the composite (in the snippet's case, the shell 
itself).

All I have to accomplish is writing a calendar/scheduler which can also be 
found in MS Outlook or Novell's GroupWise.
These UI's, as you know, usually are displaying appointments according to 
a visualized timeline, while allowing the user to modify dates/times via 
drag % drop and resizing the appointments (usually displayed as 
rectangles).

So my idea was drawing a calendar like structure onto a canvas, and 
painting the appointments/rectangles at the specified coordinates which 
are based on dates/times, while giving them the ability to be 
moved/modified by mouse events.

Any help is appreciated deeply

Thanks

Boris
