Judith,

Do you think you will be providing the style field for all/most controls, or
just windows?  Reason I ask is I recently found it useful to add
BS_MULTILINE style to a button control, which suggests it could be useful
maybe to allow style setting in the IDE for other controls as well.

And along those lines, I would suggest that even if you do provide later for
dropdown list to select styles from, that you retain the option for the user
to enter their own style constants, in case people find additional useful
styles not included in the list.  I think if you use a combo box which
retains the "edit" field, that's automatically accomplished.

One possible problem to look out for with regard to style setting for
windows, unless Derek has changed it in Win32Lib, is that as far as I
understand, in (a) recent version, the default style setting does *not* get
"over-ridden" by user specified style, the user spec just gets *added* to
the default, so you can't be completely sure that you have "rolled your own"
(window style) as you intended.
