Don: This what MS says about this.


The WM_SYSTIMER message in Windows is an undocumented system message;
 it should not be trapped or relied on by an application.
This message can occasionally be viewed in Spy or in CodeView while
 debugging. 

Windows uses the WM_SYSTIMER message internally to control the scroll rate
 of highlighted text (text selected by the user) in edit controls,
 or highlighted items in list boxes. 

NOTE: The WM_SYSTIMER message is for Windows's internal use only
 and can be changed without prior notice.
