I read that the plan was to integrate it on one of the posts (and the todo 
list) but the problem would still remain (keeping ownership).  You're right 
though SetWindowsHookEx is awful.  It's not too bad for a process only hook 
but a global is horrible.

I think you're right though, wasting more time on the closing down bit would 
be foolish.  When integrated only the setselectionowner's would need to be 
removed and the two event's code added. Much cleaner but would get rid of 
the ownership thing.

Thanks for the feedback.  Nobody replied to the other post so I wondered 
what interest level there was.
