SPCanvasWidget should be the right sort of widget to do this with.

Have you tried writing a small standalone program as a test case to make sure that you're doing everything else you need to?  (you might e.g. have to set event masks and things)

So far I have have gone through and played with Scribble...

i.e. try it with your own trivial custom widget first ... I'm afraid event flow with our canvas is currently rather convoluted

Good Idea... Thanks Danni
