The user slides the knob of PropGadget:
   I get a GADGETUP message when the mouse button is released.

The user clicks in the PropGadget's container (away from the knob):
   I get a GADGETUP message when the mouse button is depressed.
   I get a SELECTUP message when the button is released.

Is there a way to differentiate between the two GADGETUP situations?
Why do I get the SELECTUP?  (The SELECTUP is confusing my code.)  
I don't really want to have to deal with remembering a bunch of
GADGET/MOUSEBUTTON state, so how can I prevent it?
