Andreas - Thanks for the reply. I did configure a callback for the
modify event as you noted. Sorry not to have mentioned that in my
original post. My problem is that I am unable to distinguish between a
mouse move and a single click. I need to do different things in
response to these two types of events.

Thanks,
Rich
