RE: RichEdit title bar text

Technically, all controls are windows.  Some just have more interesting
event handlers. :)

Tone, are you saying that you've created a RichEdit with WS_CAPTION?  You
might try manually sending WM_SETTEXT.  setText() will use SetWindowText()
for a RichEdit, which goes to the edit part of the RichEdit, rather than the
window caption.  The docs for SetWindowText() say that it will correctly
change the caption on a listbox with WS_CAPTION set, but I've never tried to
put a caption on a RichEdit control directly.
