          Issue ID: 16658
           Summary: Win32API: default IE ver. set to 4.0 is too old
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: druntime
          Assignee: nobody puremagic.com
          Reporter: jiki red.email.ne.jp

About Win32 API shipped with 2.070 druntime,
the condition for IE 'version _WIN32_IE = 0x400' ( by default ) is too old.
# See druntime/src/core/sys/windows/w32api.d.

At least, the value should be 0x600(the version bundled with WinXP),
otherwise some GUI enhansements (switch by that) are ignored because they are
shared with the OS.


Note:
If someone made an old app for Win98 or 2000 with the Win32 Bindings
_AND_ he has fixed it for the current druntime,
it may be subject to change.
