Added Watermark and Title Icon properties.

Titlebars in Search mode can now wrap onto more than one line.

Control can now be resized horizontally or vertically at runtime and items are wrapped correctly.

Bug fixes: font property, Title background colour properties, MSVBVM50.DLL dependency, large number of items truncated, key navigation. See the BugTrak for full details.
