I'm saying that I don't know enough about win32 programming to determine if something is "wrong" just by looking at it, so if I'm actually going to commit this change I'd like to hear some indication that it can actually happen. Not to say that someone more comfortable in this environment wouldn't just commit the change after seeing the code, but I simply don't know enough to do that. -garrett
