TXTHOOK.DLL
Simulates 'ES_NOHIDESEL' for VB Textbox plus set caret bitmap and overstrike.
Author: Jeff Simms - CIS 72200,3173

***YOU MUST CALL SETTEXTHOOK() FIRST***
1) To start the 'no hide selected feature' call SetTextHook():
Call SetTextHook(Text1hWnd%, hWnd)
with the handle to the textbox and the form as arguments.
2) To start 'overstrike' mode call TextOverstrike():
Call TextOverstrike(TRUE)
with a boolean switch as the argument.
3) To set a bitmap as the caret call CaretBitmap():
Call CaretBitmap(hbitmap)
with the handle to a bitmap (from LoadBitmap() - see ex. in demo)
4) To unhook the textbox you call UndoTextHook():
Call UndoTextHook(0)
with zero as argument. ***This call will disable the textbox.***
It can be reenabled with SetTextHook(). This is not by design. This
is what happens!
