To be fair to OMS it might not have been an oversight when the code was
originally written. This Microsoft article (dated 1992) provides a possible
explanation:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms997530.aspx

"ES_LEFT, ES_RIGHT, and ES_CENTER specify the alignment the text in an edit
control should have. Single-line edit controls can only be left-aligned.
ES_LEFT is the default for both single-line and multiple-line edit controls.
Single-line edit controls ignore ES_RIGHT and ES_CENTER. Multiple-line edit
controls can be right-aligned, left-aligned, or centered. Right-aligned and
centered edit boxes cannot have horizontal scroll bars and cannot have the
ES_AUTOHSCROLL style."

I dare not comment ;-)

However, if the modification now works OK on versions of Windows that BB
currently targets then I agree that it would be a useful enhancement.

Chris
