Thanks for that bit of clarity. As I recall (years ago) we used a mouseLeave
in SC to do a similar thing...but not exactly the same.

Because a mouseUp message is only sent when the mouse is directly over the
clicked control.  If the user drags their mouse outside the stack for
example, there is no way to pass mouseUp to the clicked control and
therefore no way to stop the dragging action.  MouseRelease is key in this
situation.
