I would like to know if anyone has met this problem before and if it's a
bug :
I have a drawable widget that consider button_events. So when I click
in his widget the event A is called.

But I want to use the procedure BOX_CURSOR with another button. Then
when the user click on this button BOX_CURSOR is called. Every thing
happens well but when the user exits off the procedure BOX_CURSOR, as he
has clicked to move his BOX and to exit the procedure the event A is
called.
That does not happen all the time and it is not vey convenient.

Thanks for those who can help me (the others also...)

Don't use Box_Cursor. :-)

Box_Cursor uses an "XOR" technique. What you
want is a "Device Copy" technique. Look, for
example, at how this is done in ZIMAGE, which
allows you to draw a box (of a particular color)
in a image to create a zoom region.

And here is an article that describes the
"Device Copy" technique in some detail:
