helpful!!!

Hello All!
<snipity snip>

4.  My 2=A2 on win32lib.ew Documentation

Mr. Parnell:

In future documentation for win32lib.ew, perhaps it would be a good idea =
to
list all the flags that belong to a particular control, and very briefly
describe them.  As an example ...

Control:
HappyFace
Makes a happy face

Flags:
HF_OPENGRIN -- Mouth open for smile
HF_WINK -- Left eye closed
HF_AUTOCOLOR -- Color automatically matches mood of user

and so on.  This would help those of us who don't know much about the
Windows flags -- presently, less-than-initiated Windows users such as mys=
elf
have to look through all the flag constants and use the WAG method to
determine which flags to use for what.  It would also be helpful for IDE
builders, etc., to see what flags are available for a particular componen=
t.
(Yes, there is the Win32.hlp file; however, for those of us whose machine=
s
are not directly connected to the Net, that would be a frighteningly larg=
e
download!)

Of course, there would have to be a limit set somewhere in the event that=
 a
component takes an inordinate amount of flags; after all, there's a good
thing, and then there's overkill.

Y'all are doing a very good job with win32lib.ew, and your work is extrem=
ely
appreciated.

P.S.  About the "how should one be addressed?" question posed a few days
ago.  I write Mr., Mrs., Ms., simply because of my redneck upbringing and
the fact that I always equate an email to the good-old paper and pen lett=
er.
  As far as I'm concerned, just call me Travis -- heck, I've been called =
a
lot worse!
