That's exactly what my demo program does.  It still limits you to 100.
Try it yourself.  This only affects windows, not scrollbar controls.

I realise that microsoft were stupid enough to use a 16-bit unsigned int
somewhere in windows, but I thought that if that was the case, it wouldn't
allow you to scroll past 65535 with the buttons either.  Try it for 
yourself: drag the scrollbar to some position just before 65536, then use
the button at the end of the scrollbar to move it further along. If you
do this, it will go past 65536.  I know this is also a bug in windows
and I'm not blaming win32lib, but it is wierd behaviour.  It also puzzles
me as to why windows would let me set 32 bit scroll ranges.

Anyway, Derek says that the latest win32lib will support 32 bit scroll
ranges, which I am thankful for.
