Yes, Dan, all controls will be able to use the style field. I saw your
earlier post on BS_MULTILINE.

And, yes, I will be providing for user to input styles not in the combo or
dropdownlist. In fact it may be some time before I have enough information
to build a combo or list box anyway.

I'm not planning to interrogate the style field and try to outguess the
user's intent. What you input is what you will get, otherwise 0 will be
used.

Thanks for your input,

Judith
