Hi there again Peter,
Since Derek says he's putting it in the WinLib project, i wont
worry about putting this stuff into the WinClass Library until
i get some other 'standard' controls put into it.
I'd like to get the basic controls groups into it first.
I dont have access to XP 24/7 either, so i cant see what the
menues look like, although i know that's not the only menu
type available to XP. The 'classic' style looks just like
win98 right?
Take care for now,
Al
