Thanks, that might be just what I was looking for. F.O.R.

Go it ! Phew* ! I was seeing only KeyDown message boxes because of timing issues; before that, I was doing a mistake in the code of the KeyUp handler and the shiftPressed was being set to true when I was de-pressing the key. For anyone else who needs this, this seems to work: private void myApp_KeyDown(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs e) { if(e.Shift) shiftPressed=true; e.Handled=false; } private void myApp_KeyUp(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs e) { shiftPressed=e.Shift; } We now return you to the universe next door. F.O.R.

This is just a shot in the dark but you could take a look at addng a COM reference to the Microsoft SQLDMO Object Library. You might find what you need in there.

Got it ! Just for future reference of anyone who stumbles upon this: look at the following two articles here on CodeProject: http://www.codeproject.net/books/1861004990.asp and http://www.codeproject.com/cs/miscctrl/tracker.asp As a summary, I think my main mistake was to set the AutoScrollMinSIze to a value that was too small (5,5). Once I set this to the value of the highest X (and Y) coordinate of the stuff I was drawing, it worked much better! HTH, F.O.R. PS: funny thing is I *do* have the WROX book from the first link, but I left it at the office !

Hi. I just went thru this as well, but this is what i worked out. it's basically the same thing you already figured out. private void rtb1_MouseDown(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs e) { leftMouse(e.X, e.Y); } private void leftMouse(int X, int Y) { posStart = rtb1.GetCharIndexFromPosition(new Point(X, Y)); }

For anyone who may stumble upon this... A colleague of mine actually fixed this to work. Apparently, he simply added the .def file to export all of the various TraceSQL* routines. In addition to that, he had to include the FireVSDebugEvent and TraceVSControl routines to the .def file. Looking at his source, and mine, I guess mine wasn't working because I had __declspec(_stdcall) (or something like that...I'm not 100% sure yet). In short: the source code from MS seems to work once you add the .def file. Hope this Helps, F.O.R. PS: Props to my colleague, and to Brannon, who sent some helpful hints as well!

Danke ! FOR
