It looks like another bug in the IDE resource editor to me. You can of
course open the *.rc file with the text editor and add the TCS_BOTTOM style
manually -- the good news is that the resource editor seems to recognize it,
and doesn't seem to modify it (on a quick test). The bad news of course is
that under XP with themes enabled the style isn't supported at all any
more...

FWIW, it seems to be fixed in the Whidbey (VS2005) version.
Although it won't affect this of course:
