Hello again,
Here is another Win32Lib question. I am
trying to create a window which will hold
several child windows (like the document
windows in many text and image editing
applications), but I don't know how to do it.
I've tried using WS_CHILDWINDOW, but it does
not work. Maybe I need to set some attribute
in the main window (the one that will hold
the others), but I have no idea what it would
be. Is there any way to do this in Win32Lib,
or is it not supported yet?
(BTW, the password SLE works fine now.
Thanks, David!)

The model you are trying to make is called MDI (Multiple Document
Interface). I think win32lib (and Visual Euphoria 0.02) doesn't support
such model yet. On MDI you have a main form, a frame window (MDI parent)
that contains child windows (MDI childs).
