Summary: ooDialog - update the EditControl

Initial Comment:
In ooDialog the EditControl represents the Windows Edit common control.

This class should be updated to the XP level for users running on XP.  There are a couple of interesting features such as ballon tips and cues that would only be available on XP.

However, there are also a number of Edit styles and messages that are already available in the C functions.  They simply aren't documented.  Three quarters of the work for this RFE would merely be to document what is already implemented.

This commit adds the getText method to the EditControl.  The method
returns the contents of the edit control's text buffer without truncating. 
It works the same for both a single-line and a multi-line edit control.  It
also has the advantage of having a more intuitive method name than title.

The ~selected method would only return character positions up to 65535. 
This commit changes the code so that the correct position is returned, up
to the Windows maximum (a full 32 bit number.)

This revision updates the ooDialog EditControl to the (almost) full
functionality level of Windows XP.  (There are a couple of obscure EN_*
notifications and there are some EM_* messages still not implemented.)

Support for the following was added:

Styles:
  ES_NUMBER
  ES_OEMCONVERT

  AddStyle()
  RemoveStyle()
  ReplaceStyle()
  GetStyle()

Messages:
  EM_HIDEBALLOONTIP 
  EM_SHOWBALLONTIP
  EM_GETCUEBANNER
  EM_SETCUEBANNER

  HideBallon()
  ShowBallon()
  SetCue()

In addition, examination shows that the following Edit Control styles are
available (when using the addEntryLine() method) but were not documented:

  NOT WS_TABSTOP
      WS_GROUP
      ES_PASSWORD 
      ES_NOHIDESEL
      ES_WANTRETURN

I will update the documentation for these changes.  (Keeping this in the
open state until the doc changes have been made.)
