David..
thx, I'll include your suggestion.
I included the scrolling to keep the focus on the dropdown...
faik the only way of doing it.
Re custom icons:
I am still fiddling and getting totally frustrated.. :)
Excel2003 and ExcelXP have a different approach to Pasting bitmaps from
the UI.
If you experiment you'll notice that transparency and the colors black,
white and light gray get mixed up. Or at least not consistently
processed (i'm using 97, 2002 and 2003 for testing).
Why the hell can't Microsoft include a DECENT icon editor?
Notice the colorpicker in Excel2003? It wont pick a color. You can SET a
color.. WOW!
It's nye impossible to get a decent looking sharply defined icon into
your own button when you paste it from the UI. When you think you got
it.. Then try another Excel version. arghh...
I read on MSDN (somewhere...) that Office development team decided to
use a non-standard approach to its toolbars.. so apprently API functions
wont work in expected ways... and I'm only an amateur when it comes to
apis.

Scrolling in advance of change is a bit weird, perhaps you could
add Text on the bottom right to indicate what range
you are actually looking at.
Curious about something else
how our own toolbar icons might be identified / stored

Hi all.
With Excel XP and 2003 FaceID's and toolbar bitmaps are a bit harder
to manipulate, at least if you want to get colors and transparency
correct.
I've written a small addin to easily browse thru your builtin
FaceID's and extract, copy, save, read & merge the individual Picture
and Mask bitmaps.
Have a look.. especially if you have Excel2003.. and wondered about
ALL the new redesigend icons.
