I've been playing a bit more and for completeness sake I thought I would
explain the first problem I listed above. If you create the edit box with
Enabled = False or you set Enabled to False before the edit box gets
displayed (and therefore before the window handle is created) then Windows
will create the window as disabled. Then the code to throw away the
WM_Enable messages works against you, because no messages ever get through
to set the window enabled again. Thus the text will always appear in gray.
