I have an application that allows use of the mouse to drag and move an
image, which is a map. Clicking and dragging the left mouse button
will do that -- it works fine. See the following screenshot (the
white dot at the lower left of the white writing is the place where
the mouse has grabbed the image):

Now I want to overlay some data input fields (text fields), menues and
buttons on top of the map, and they are supposed to stay in a fixed
position. So when I'm over the map, I want to be able to drag and
move the map (which presumably is in one layer), and when I'm over a
field, menu or button I want to be able to enter and accept data,
click the button, etc. This presumably would happen in another r
layer, and a mockup screenshot might look like this:

How would you do that? Can you have two independently controllable
layers, whith the top one (the one with the text field) mostly
transparent, except of course in the area of the text field.
Thanks for any advice.
