Remarks
When an edit control is created as part of the Window hierarchy, it can trap events. For example, you might want to customize the appearance of edit controls (like changing the background and foreground colors) or modify their default key handling.
Manipulating a control via the ControlWindow class requires more overhead than those created by the subclasses of Control. Therefore, it is recommended that control windows be used only where special handling is needed (for example, to override the handling of certain events or call some window method on a control).
