15.1.4 + placeholders + IWEdit + async update
#1
Added placeholders and they mostly work, but if I touch an IWEdit control through an async call such as enabling, disabling, or setting the text the placeholder then disappears.  If I update the control via a synchronous call the placeholder reappears and works until another async call updates the control.  This occurs with or without templates.

I can't reproduce this behavior.
What are the properties that you are changing? I'm changing font, color, border, and several things and if I clear the text the placeholder is there. The attribute doesn't change in an async call....

I'm able to reproduce with a simple new IW project with an IWEdit (placeholder set in ExtraTagParams) and a button which toggles the 'Enabled' property via async:

Pic 1: on startup, placeholder visible.

Pic 2: toggle enabled, placeholder disappears.

Pic 3: toggle enabled, placeholder still not active.

Pic 4: full page refresh, placeholder appears and works normally.

Using C++ builder 10.2.3 + IW 15.1.4

Took a quick look at the IW source - the IWEdit 'Hint' property controls the placeholder if 'Attributes->iaPLaceholder' is true.  So all works if set iaPLaceholder = true and 'Hint' = desired placeholder.

Yes, the hint controls the placeholder attribute.
