Well, I've never used CVS and have no spare hard drive space, so I doubt it. :-)

However, in the 10mins since I received Havoc's reply, I got some rough
autoscrolling working in my app. Only down and to the left, and only during
lasso selection. But I plan to have the middle button work as a "mover" just as
in GIMP.

I see that I don't get mouse motion events when the pointer is outside of my
app's window, but if the mouse button is held down, I do. That's perfect for
autoscrolling.

It's late, but I think tomorrow I can get a lot of this working in my app.
