OK, it is done with dialog breakers and CtrlRetriever:

edt.tabsize <<= rtvr <<=
		hlt.hlstyle.WhenCtrlsAction = ed.WhenAction = tf.WhenAction =
		con.WhenAction = f1.WhenAction = f2.WhenAction = dlg.Breaker(222);

Since we were recently on the topic of how to make U++ more popular, code like that might as well be voodoo for the casual GUI enthusiast.

It may be short but it is hard to understand and probably most people will skip trying to. Also when dealing with callback, the difference between <<, <<= and = is a bit too much.
