Hi Mark, and thanks for your feedback. I would hate to interrupt your
vacation with this so I'll keep off for the time being. This is a very
minor issue at the moment so it can certainly wait. I'll see if I can put
together a failing sample for when you get back. As for "themed" controls,
the only such controls I have are treeviews with the EXPLORER theme, but I
guess that fact wouldn't apply in the case of an edit control.
Enjoy your vacation!
