Draw over another hwnd?

Hello!

I have a form which is entirely occupied by a usercontrol.
In the middle of the usercontrol I placed a textbox.
Can I somehow make the usercontrol draw its graphics partly over the
textbox as well?

On an iPhone there is this keyboard. When you click on a letter, the
letter will zoom in, and the zoomed letter will draw partly over the
text area. This is what I'm talking about.

Set the UC's ClipControls property to False and see if that will do the trick....
