A lot of credit goes to people who are finding bugs and sending me
corrections, as well as those who complain that they really need some
feature that I haven't gotten around to implementing.
As a Christmas present, I've finally added Alt key support to the "bleeding
edge" v0.45h. I figured out that I needed to trap the WM_SYSKEYDOWN message
to see the Alt keystrokes. I think this will also take care of the problem
with the tooltips not disappearing with the Alt+Tab. As an added bonus, the
DefPushButton also responds correctly to the Return key being pressed. As
usual, the code's at:

If someone can figure out why the focus isn't being set correctly when the
Alt keys are used on the TabItems, I'd appreciate it. I suspect that they
can't recieve focus the way standard controls can, but I don't know the
proper way to do it.
I'm considering making the default color of windows that of the button
color. If this is going to cause anyone major grief, let me know.
I took a very brief look at the latest release of Euphoria. It's nice to see
that icons are now supported, and the size of the executable. I saw the
posting for UPX at Freshmeat a couple of weeks ago - it's nice to see that
Euphoria is using bleeding edge tools! Very impressive compression.
Also, I made a brief attempt to bind a program under the latest release
(after running my FIX routine), and it failed during execution. I suspect
that the bug lies in the new key words being added to Euphoria that FIX
doesn't know about. In addition, I need to fix a number of libraries (EE,
for example), since flush() is now a keyword in Euphoria. Apologies if this
causes any problems to people; Robert warned me about it a couple of days
ago.
Now I've got to get the kids to nestle down in their bed...
