This was a way that the wizard could know where to insert messages maps
without actually adding any code. The wizard can find this place in the
code when event handlers are added to know where to insert the lines that
will end up expanding to code.

The newer version of VS doesn't need these any longer. Obvioulsy they are
just treated as comments so they don't hurt anything if you leave them.

I'm sure the syntax highlighting is likely just a legacy thing from previous
versions to indicate the place holders. Of course, that's mostly a guess on
my part. I just know the lines were once put there (in previous versions)
and now they are not (in the latest version), but the wizards now still know
where to put the "real" code.

I thought a // means the remainder of the line is comment. But, if a
space is put between the // and }} (in the 3rd line of code) the IDE
editor in (Visual C++ 6.0) low-lights the reminaing code. Why? TIA
