    Update v1.01:
    Added CueBannerText, This was a bit tricky since you can't call the SendMessage API until the control has been created.

    Hi Edgemeal,

    You may want to look at the CB_SETCUEBANNER message as an alternative to EM_SETCUEBANNER.

    Didn't know about that!
    Thanks

    EDIT: I probably just leave the code as is for awhile since CB_SETCUEBANNER is Vista minimum.
