Except (to change the subject slightly) that since the API calls
often redraw the control we can't use them prior to
FrmDrawForm to establish the initial state of the form before
displaying it. Is there any way around this except to directly
modify the structure members of the control?

I agree. Which is why it's disappointing to see that OS3.5
makes many API calls unusable before the form is drawn.
