- I meant "a normal Windows 3.1 app" to mean "a non-OWL 16-bit Windows
- app".
-
- So your answer then is that this Windows 95-like control support is
- an "OWL thing" and I can't use it generically in any 16-bit program?
- OWL must be used to access the emulation.
-
- In any case, has Borland gotten the *actual* 16-bit COMMCTRL.DLL (the
- one that comes with Windows 95) to work under Windows 3.1, or is this
- emulation purely just that: code, totally from Borland, that creates
- controls that look like Windows 95.
