Brian and Ralph, Thanks. I gave up because there are easier, more obvious ways to do what I want. Several posts have mentioned shortcomings in the segmented control widget and I think if it would respond to mousedown and mouseup messages, it would be easier to use in more situations, as well. It could use an upgrade, in my humble opinion!
