Addendum: If any of the sliders is dragged past the top of bottom of the containing control, the containing control's bounds will be expanded live in that direction, thereby keeping the mouse within the containing control. I'm starting to think that doing with this a matrix of cells won't be the best way to do this, but rather just create a custom control and tracks the 4 "sliders" internally.
