Usage
First, there is need to call initialization function for each used control. Then call CreateWindow and use class: [TauControlName]_CLASS. You can also specify additional style if there is any. Call SendMessage to set font and color. Catch WM_COMMAND as usual.
Before using any control, I strongly suppose to check the control acting and reacting in source code and especially header file.
See setup dialog of The Matrix Trilogy Screensaver to see these controls in action.
