It is not possible in FORMS 4.5 to detect when the scrollbar has been pressed. There are occasions where this can be a real pain!

It would be possible to set indicators in key-triggers, then check for these in WHEN-NEW-RECORD-INSTANCE, but this would still not detect whether the user had used the mouse to click in the new record or had used it on the scrollbar.
