Perhaps something to take a look at...
Just in time i have skipped the idea of two Editfields on one window,
because some issues with a splitter.
So today I have done some test with two windows, and found it could
possible if I write a lot of getter and setter methods, where i check
what window is used (TextWnoScroll or TextWHscroll) and then what
window is the frontmost, but this meant it is a lot of code to
rewrite ...
That was in this case I wanted to do an easy dim statement to declare
a global, and then just used that when i set or get values from the
window and the editfield.
