; the only thing you need to do is add either (or both) of these 2 lines
; at the top of your script:
; OnMessage(WM_MOUSEWHEEL:=0x20A, "wheel")
; OnMessage(WM_MOUSEMOVE:=0x200, "drag")

This little demo contains 2 functions: Drag() and Wheel().
`n* Activate an edit control and scroll the mouse-wheel to change the value.
`n* Alternatively, Hold down the Left Mouse Button and drag the mouse up or down to
adjust the values.
`n* You may use ctrl to adjust the first decimal place (3.1) or shift to adjust 
the second (3.14)
`n* Note: ComboBoxes seem to behave naughty.

Thanks!

Wish it could be an actual function and not onmessage. That way I could easily have a whitelist and/or blacklist of controls to work on.
Currently users need to add that manually to the function themself :( or I could use a global.
