I think I probably "spoke" too quickly. I'm now thinking that
setting a control's frame style is not supported for the standard
controls. Buttons and PushButtons get standard frames, and others
get no frame. I think that's the standard UI that CtlNewControl is
trying to enforce. Are you trying to go beyond that somehow?

Yeah, but still...you created the control by calling CtlNewControl.
You specified an ID and a group. You can stash that off somewhere
else for later. Like I said, this is not ideal or even my idea of
fun. But it's an option, isn't it?
Please keep in mind that I'm not the Palm OS engineer working on the
user interface. I'm just the Poser engineer trying to enforce the
rules as he understands them. Just like a cop doesn't necessarily
understand *why* a certain law is a law, but still has to enforce
them. (Did you know that in San Francisco, it's illegal to walk your
elephant down Market Street unless it's on a leash?)
