JJ,

It does ?   I've not been able to even turn up that kind of information.  It 
might explain why I do not see anything (and why cximage and cximage return 
1).

Could you tell me where you found that information ?

In my case trying to call it (with a zero) throws an "invalid procedure or 
argument" error.

Anything is possible, and currently I have got next-to-nothing to go on. :-\


But, I made a fool of myself :

I *assumed* that the callback events would be related to the user using the 
different buttons.  When looking at the DPreviewEvents object it turns out 
the "forward" and "back" buttons don't generate any. :-(

I was so focussed on first getting a grip on the object itself that I 
totally forgot to look at which events where available.  :-\


But although that kills my "script those buttons" idea I still would like 
whatever information, if any, you have on the object.
