Is that a mode you can open? I don't use WE much right now because it's kind of pointless having to restart my computer every half an hour. I hope to purchase it within the week though.

I just opened a program wherein I knew I had some good examples. And here's all I did. 1. Focus the custom control. 2. Open the Immediate mode window. 3. Enter the following and note the result. Print FocusedWindow.ClassName sfppack2Bld1503TrackbarClass From that I know it's just a custom track bar and reclass it as a track bar. But this is the luck of the draw. Sometimes class names are informative or at least give you a potential clue or hint as to what to try. Otherwise it's a matter of trying to figure the control out by evaluating its functionality. And sometimes these custom controls look virtually no different than their standard counterparts. So borrowing a pair of knowledgeable eyes can sometimes reveal their secret.
