mcLB2, a new Windows control

[NoCforMe]

So, to use that famous meaningless tautology, my mcLB2 is what it is.
Which is to say that it is my vanity project. Something I thought was fairly kewl and worth developing. And which did finally did succeed in seeing the light of day in terms of functionality; it worked. Always a good moment for me.

I appreciate the help I got here from members who pointed out the flaws and made suggestions for improvements. I now have a stable, usable Windows control that I can use. (And others as well.)

Trying to pretend that I, a lowly hobby programmer, could somehow outperform the mighty development teams at Redmond devoted to developing controls, would be a massive conceit, one which I do not claim. I do like to create my own homegrown, idiosyncratic Windows controls, as much an exercise in "I can do it!" as anything else.

Still working on The Ultimate Edit Control. We'll see how far that goes ...

Easy enough for them to "outperform" when they have hundreds of programmers building on thousands of programmers prior work from the last 40 years (and they still get it wrong).

Exactly the right attitude to have.
