Hi;

I want to create a opaque canvas that show all the widget unders it. In
other words; lets say we create shell and add some control on it. When we
add opaque canvas to the shell encapsulating all of shell area; all the
controls still visible under the canvas

Thanks;

I don't think this is supported by SWT. You might want to try Swing instead.

glass pane? Something that can be overlaid a bunch of controls that can
be drawn on and will maybe capture mouse events?

Thanks,

When a control is disabled, mouse events go to the parent. You can capture
events for a control by disabling the parent and then looking for events in
the parent's parent.

Yes, but you can disable its _parent_, so control will look like
enabled but will not receive mouse events.

Hmm. You're dragging the composite containing the button around. What I
expected to see is two buttons under one composite that when you click
and drag drags a button around within the composite. Would there be a
visible difference in these two cases. E.g., if you dragged one button
on top of another with the composite-per-button approach, might you see
rectangular background cutouts in the rounded corners of the top button?
