No need to apologize. The information was still helpful, even though it turned out to be not useful. Every little bit of knowledge is a step out of obscurity.

Trond sent me on a different tack with his idea of checking the keyboard first. I'll try intercepting keys of interest and then replacing those among them that do not suit my purpose. But i have to figure it out in code that i understand. Trond's arcane code flies way above my minuscule head.

And to think that i had fully implemented such an inversion process for TrackBars in Visual Basic 6. But i can't find my source code.

 Bingo Found the old solution again here (; http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library ... ard_inface

Microsoft clearly makes a distinction between scrolling windows and what we call TrackBars in PB. The code suggestion in the referenced page implements it. So simple after all...
