FS#273 - Edit styles: some suggested changes

I think that ES_MULTILINE should not appear in Object Inspector because an EditBox is by definition multi-line.

In C/C++, WS_GROUP is the way of marking a control as the first in a group, and another control as the last in the group. But AutoIt uses, and Koda generates, a pair of calls to GUICtrlCreateGroup. So I suggest removing WS_GROUP from TAEdit in Object Inspector. The fewer styles there are, the easier it is for a user: some scrolling down is inevitable, but the less he needs to do so the less likely he is to miss a style that he needs to check or uncheck.

Koda shows WS_VISIBLE as forced, but AutoIt doesn’t. Further, WS_VISIBLE remains checked even when Visible is False. I suggest removing WS_VISIBLE.

I think that WS_CHILD only applies to Forms. So I suggest removing it from Object Inspector | TAEdit.

I will consider.

Sounds reasonable. I'll think, maybe remove styles that not changing in any way. Or make them optional.
