Thanks Dan and all the other helpers.

You're right. I tended to grab an example and do a quick test of some new
feature, and sometimes I forgot to remove the test code. Somebody should
rework the examples to make more graduated I suppose (hint, hint).

I'm thinking using the "Default" keyword in the width/height parameters to
automatically calculate an appropriate dimensions for a control based on the
control type and the Label text supplied. Maybe next time.

I hope its useful. I added this stuff only yesterday to prove I'd fixed a
bug, and didn't really mean to leave the baggage in the example.

I just grabbed a random sample of bitmaps supplied by Microsoft. The
examples just use whatever bitmaps happen to be in the directory so you
could always just delete the inappropriate ones.

And this is not even V1.00 yet!
