Sorry I didn't see this topic until now... If I had've read it sooner, I would've offered some half-baked suggestion, that may or may not have worked...
... but whatever it was that I had come up with, it would've pointed you to the Win32 api.
Whenever I can't do something in VB, I always run to ye ole VB5 Programmer's Guide To The Win32 API (Appleman) for help.
Windows is really nothing more than a collection of dlls (for the most part), and if you can access the exported functions (use userlibs in Blitz like you would Declare in VB) in any of the dlls that make up Windows, you can usually find something that will satisfy your needs.
Userlibs is cool...
