And what i can say from my 15 years as a software developer - it's a
deadly one. This sounds like a nightmare for every QA person.

I must agree that the current message implementation is really
unflexible. If you ever tried to get a focus-in/out event from a
listbox you know it. But i still agree its a waste of time and i have seen to
much announcements and projects in the FOX community that never reached
even a pre alpha state.
