Al, That was what my thinking was leading to. Its a bit messy though. What I really need to do is somehow track the movement of the dragged object from an object event as opposed to tracking it via the container you drag it over.
Unfortunately once in drag/drop mode the object becomes unavailable as far as any other events are concerned. I guess I could write my own equivalent of drag/drop using an outline container and use the mousemove event to initiate the scroll.

Also look for the position on the scrollbar to make the up/down slow/fast ? Allen -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dave Crozier Sent: 04 February 2008 13:19 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Inspiration Required Guys, I need a little inspiration here. Problem: Using Drag/Drop to drag a container around inside an underlying container. I have scroll bass in the underlying container and when I drag the object over the scroll bars the underlying container scrolls no problem by putting code in the DRAGOVER() event in the underlying container.. However, I want the underlying container to continue the scroll as long as I keep the object over the scroll bar. I am using VFP drag/drop events not the OLE Drag/Drop. What happens at the moment is that the underlying container scrolls but only one fixed amount until the object is moved out of its borders and back in, when it scrolls again. Having to move the object around to continue scrolling is a pain and I cant think of an immediate solution at present. I can't trap any events in the dragged object as it is in Drag Mode and effectively dead, so it needs to be done on the objects that are passed over i.e the scroll bars. Any ideas? Ill try and put a small demo up on the website if anyone wants to see the problem first hand. Dave Crozier No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
