I've been having weirdness with TC++ 3.1 for 3.0 windows but not on the
TListBox. All works perfectly well on 3.1 windows. Some MetaFile calls
and some BitBlt's just unexplainably UAE. The problem is more releated to
3.0 being less robust than 3.1. I suspect perhaps in both yours and my case
that there is a minor bug in our code (or windows 3.0) that is floating around
and a different compiler can hide or show it up.
