• Before file opening controls are updated if the main window was minimized (MDI).

• Manual parameter “PaintOptions” – Defines, some text draw settings. Sets by the sum of members:
  • 1 Paint text by group of characters (default is character by character). With this flag some text recognition programs could start to work, printer could print faster, but highlighted symbols and combined unicode symbols can be drawn differently and editing of whose characters may become uncomfortable.
  • 2 Disable drawing new line selection as space character.
  • 4 Draw new line selection to the right edge.
  • 8 Hides the selection when the control loses the input focus.
