Two questions:

1) Is there a PMSPY (functional equivalent to the Windows SPY.EXE) available
   from anyone, free or commercial?  (I.e., a program that lets you view
   messages sent to windows...)

2) Does PM have the concept of transparent windows?  In playing around with
   the combobox I've noticed that it's really three windows, but that as the
   inner listbox adjusts itself the outer window will "let through" part
   of the window underneath as appropriate.  Is it just that the outer window
   never does any painting?  If so, wouldn't the WS_CLIPCHILDREN flag on
   the parent affect things?  Or is there a concept of a "transparent"
   window....  (To see what I mean bring up the dialog editor and put a combo
   box on a dialog and play with its height...)

          So is Windows NT short for "Windows, NOT?"
