[news.eclipse.platform.swt] drawing a selection frame in a composite

How can I draw a selection frame in a composite ?

What I'm trying to do:
I have a composite containing controls. When pressing down the left mouse button and moving the mouse a selection frame should be displayed
(like in Windows explorer).


Problems:
1. Acording to a statement from Steve Northover (from early 2004) it is not possible to draw onto the child controls.


2. I can't get the mouseevents when the mouse is above a children. The events are delivered to the children in that case.

Any suggesstions ?

Regards,
Yves
