Hello Rick,

I shall forward the file direct to you.
It is based on Petzold Chapter 9, "Programming Windows 95" PopPad1

I apologise that the code is probably somewhat clunky with potential for
improvement.
I have just started learning the "Windows" subject although I have
previously used Forth quite extensively.
I haven't studied SWOOP and the Object Oriented subject so my implementation
of INITCOMMONCONTROLSEX Structure is somewhat questionable!

With the current edit control style, you can enter a password which is seen
as asterisks indicating that is using the USER32.DLL rather than the
reincarnation of edit control in COMCTL32 v6 and higher.

ICC_STANDARD_CLASSES is commented out but ready for use. No apparent change
with or without use of this.

Chappell further elaborates on InitCommonControlsEx at
www.geoffchappell.com/viewer.htm?doc=studies/windows/shell/comctl32/api/commctrl/initcommoncontrolsex.htm

Thanks for any help.

Best Regards,
Douglas
