1. Win32Lib (side note)
Completely unrelated information:
I have a slightly older version of Win32Lib at home, and I was checking
through the source code (cant remember why now) and noted in some of the
comments under the event loop regarding an undocumented windows message.
280 decimal, 118 hex.
While there is almost nothing on this, its name is WM_SYSTIMER and its
main purpose is to control the scroll rate of highlighted text (text
selected by the user) in edit controls, or highlighted items in list
boxes. It should not be trapped or relied on by an application.
Just an FYI =)

Don: This what MS says about this.
The WM_SYSTIMER message in Windows is an undocumented system message;
it should not be trapped or relied on by an application.
This message can occasionally be viewed in Spy or in CodeView while
debugging.
Windows uses the WM_SYSTIMER message internally to control the scroll rate
of highlighted text (text selected by the user) in edit controls,
or highlighted items in list boxes.
NOTE: The WM_SYSTIMER message is for Windows's internal use only
and can be changed without prior notice.
