The WPAINT example program from chapter 9 of my book demonstrates how
this may be done. You can download the sample programs from

Here is an article on this very subject, with the
event handler for the draw widget heavily documented. :-)

Andre,

Something like this should do the trick. This uses Mouse Button 3
to toggle the motion events on/off.

Pseudo English:
If a button is pressed DOWN and it's MB 3 Then
Check status of motion events
Toggle motion events to opposite setting
end

IF ev.type EQ 0 AND ev.press EQ 4 THEN BEGIN
IF Widget_Info(ev.id,/DRAW_MOTION_EVENTS) THEN BEGIN
Widget_control, ev.id,Draw_Motion_Events=0
ENDIF ELSE BEGIN
Widget_control, ev.id,Draw_Motion_Events=1
ENDELSE
ENDIF
