Maybe not a bug, but this had the potential to break existing programs, so I
fixed it.

The bug I fixed was that if the static control had a positive resource ID
and was immediately before a group of radio buttons, the auto detection code
would not check the proper radio button when the programmer would set the
attribute to checked.
While I was debugging that, I thought of a number of cases where, if the
programmer wanted to use auto detection, they would expect it to work for
static text controls. Cases similar to the one I posted in the other
e-mail.
So, there was a bug with the radio buttons and another bug that the auto
detection was not consistent.
I just changed the implementation of the fix so that when the data attribute
for the static text control is created, the attribute's value is set to the
text of the control. This preserves existing behavior. It also allows the
programmer to use auto detection consistently. They can set the attribute
to the value they want.
All in all, a good catch Oliver.
