I'd like to be able to press a pushbutton and increase
a variable while the pushbutton is being pressed.

        Here's how I could do this.  I could use a UserButton
an respond to the BN_CLICKED, paint the button in the highlighted
state, start a timer, and increase the variable every time I receive
a timer notification.  And when I press the UserButton again, I
would terminate the timer.

        I don't like this because I have to press the button to
start the timer, and then press it again to stop the timer.  What I
want is a way of increasing the timer while the button is being pressed
down.  So my second idea about this is to respond to the WM_BUTTON1DOWN
message, start the timer, increase the variable at every timer
notification, and then terminate the timer when I receive the
WM_BUTTON1UP message.  I've tried this approach, but I don't seem to be
receiving WM_BUTTON... messages when I'm pressing down on a UserButton
or PushButton.

        So I'm stuck, and don't know how to accomplish this.  I know
it is possible, since the CD Player that comes with Warp can do it.
Any ideas?
