Interesting stuff. I've managed to find out a few things. The class being
referred to appears to be the ThumbCtl class in webvw.dll...I think.
Unfortunately, I have not been able to make use of the class successfully.
When I try to make an instance of the class in a form, I get the "0x80029c4a
error loading type library/DLL" error. I am obviously missing something.
