Funnily enough, I did that too. The results were very flash.

Give me raw mouse clicks, keyboard events and window drawing code, and
any control is possible (though maybe tediously intricate).

The single most useful function for the drawing side is
DrawFrameControl(), which you could use to draw the buttons yourself
exactly as they would have been. It's a shame it wasn't there ... 14
years ago under Windows 3.1.

(And one of these days, I really should go in and add use of that
function to the current version of that window code. I've used it
elsewhere since, but not there.)
