[python-win32] wxPython/Pythonwin interplay/Richtext Controls

[Mark Hammond]

I'm afraid I don't know what a "RICH2" control is exactly, and why Pythonwin
doesn't know about it.  However, you should also keep in mind that the
win32gui module should allow you to send whatever Windows messages you like.
SendMessage in win32gui allows you to pass strings and buffers for these
params, meaning the struct or array modules can be used to pack the raw
data.  Not as "nice" as the pythonwin OO framework, but should still work.

Mark.
