Re: type casts (FindWindow)

> So what can I do?

With the new code (committed to CVS), use Object::FindObject; this will
return the appropriate object:

    ListBox lb = (ListBox)FindWindow(ID_MY_WIN);

or even:

    MyListBox mlb = (MyListBox)FindWindow(ID_MY_WIN);

The typemap (now removed) was using the RTTI to instantiate the
appropriate object.  The problem with it was that in the second case
above, it would instantiate the incorrect object, and cause a run-time
exception.

The system in place now, holds a reference to the created object, and
looks up that reference using the C++ IntPtr.

This method will also allow for client data objects as well.
