I want to create an application that displays a drawing in one pane
and some database information in another (side pane).
The drawing should have on it some images that represent records in a
database and are "hotspots".
When a image is mouse-clicked the information in the side pane is
changed to show information relivant to that database record (or
image).

I have no idea where to start, I need some expert guidance.
Is there any controls that would help me? Should I be looking at
something like a customisable CAD package.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks in adavnce, SKIP
