Hi,
Just read an interesting article about new features for windows
controls.
msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/07/08/WindowsCPP/default.aspx
It would be nice if the VCL eventually supported these. Would it be
best to create a QC entry for each one or the whole lot?
Warmest regards, Stuart

current VCL. All you need are the new style/message IDs and structure
definitions, which you can get from updated PSDK header files, or just
define them manually in your own code. Then use SetWindowLong() or
SendMessage() accordingly at runtime to activate the desired features.

How do I call EM_SETCUEBANNER fro a TEdit control
Example I would like to set the cuebannertext to be "Pressure BAR" for a
TEdit contorl named Edit1
SnedMessage(Edit1->Handle, EM_SETCUEBANNER, 0, what do I put here?);

lParam
[in] A pointer to a Unicode string that contains the text to display as the textual cue.
Also shown in a Macro to be
lpcwText
A pointer to a Unicode string that contains the text to set as the textual cue.
Which I think would be L"Pressure BAR"

// or:
// Edit1->Perform(EM_SETCUEBANNER, 0, (int) L"My Text Here");
Or:
WideString s = "My Text Here";
SendMessage(Edit1->Handle, EM_SETCUEBANNER, 0, (LPARAM) s.c_bstr());
// or:
// Edit1->Perform(EM_SETCUEBANNER, 0, (int) s.c_bstr());

Can this be applied to TDBEdit controls? Or does anyone know a way to create
a TDBEdit control that has the EM_SETCUEBANNER facility?

that TDBEdit derives from TCustomMaskEdit, not T(Custom)Edit directly, so
the masking features might interfer.
