    Merrion, can you please explain in a little more detail how your control can be referenced/accessed?

    I get errors mostly any way that I try to add a reference or component. I've tried referencing the dll and/or the vbproj, but I don't see an entry in the components for it.

    Apparently the ALT+ key modifier doesn't always work. I shal fix this (and write an installer to put it in the GAC) when I get time.
