Norm Almond CLabel Class Port to ATL/WTL

Introduction

Now you can use Norm Almond's excellent CLabel class in your ATL/WTL projects. The Class is still called CLabeland it retains a majority of the original code. Just follow these simple instructions.

1. Create a WTL Project
2. Design the dialog and add the Static Controls
3. Add the ATLLabel.h header file to your project
4. Any static controls that need enhancing, give each control a unique ID within the dialog editor.
5. Assign a CLabel to each static control.
6. Subclass each member controls (CLabel) to each ID using the SubclassWindow method.
7. In OnInitDialog uses the CLabelmethods to change the appearance of the control.

  CLabel m_ctlGradient;
  m_ctlGradient.SubclassWindow(GetDlgItem(IDC_GRADIENT));
  m_ctlGradient.SetBkColor(RGB(255,255,255),RGB(0,0,255), CLabel::Gradient);
