Learning a field's scroll when its scrollbar is released

[Craig Newman]

Sorry, I missed the part about doing this in a field. That message is not sent from a field, only from a scrollbar sort of control.

 In fact, very little indeed is sent from the scrollbar of a field. It may be necessary to trap the 
mouseLeave” message from a transparent rectangular graphic overlying the scrollbar portion of the field. This may be a close as you can get to noticing the terminatiion of the scroll process, and it is not pretty.

But this does not seem to work for a scrolling field.  Is there a good way to learn the vScroll of a field when the mouse on the field’s scrollbar has been released?
