Oh... So ParentCtrl is actually a container which does not receive mouse messages? I think, I got it...

Actually, mrjt got it wrong, it in fact DOES receive mouse messages (but usually, they are just ignored).

ParentCtrl::ParentCtrl()
{
	NoWantFocus();
	Transparent();
	minsize = Null;
}

Really, the main purpose is that you need something to group widgets occassionally and that thing has to be Transparent (because there is usually something behind) and it must not get focus when pressing K_TAB.
