This functionality is not in Win32lib because I haven't figured out how to
do it yet. I've tried the obvious ways but with no luck. I've read some
Windows programming books but they just avoid this area too. I think it has
to do with owner-drawn controls but that looks complicated. I know that a
lot of apps can do this type of thing but I haven't a clue really on how to
do it.

If anyone has some ideas, don't be bashful.
