The next thing to try is to fire up is the object browser, and then a getinterface() based on what it says. Did it once, three years ago, with the WPCubed's RTF/Html editor control (and actually the author found that trick, after reading VFP help - herr Ziersch was unbelievable). Using that, I managed to get an interface to objects which weren't otherwise exposed. It was tricky, but the results were above what I hoped for.
