Notepad is mostly a wrapper around a rich edit control, and rich edit controls already emit "EN_CHANGE" when the content changes. So I suppose this must be some historical thing where an earlier version of notepad didn't have something like that to tee into.

Notepad is a wrapper around a plain text control.

WordPad is a wrapper around a rich text control.

Ah, yes, thanks. Though it's still the same EN_CHANGE event.
