CHECK3STATE control styles

%BS_AUTO3STATE

The control is a 3-state checkbox control that automatically updates itself when clicked/toggled. (persistent)

%BS_BITMAP

Display a bitmap image instead of a text caption.

%BS_BOTTOM

Place the text at the bottom of the control.

%BS_CENTER

Center the text horizontally in the control.

%BS_FLAT

Create a flat control (without the raised 3D look).

%BS_ICON

Display an icon image instead of a text caption.

%BS_LEFT

Place the text on the left side of the checkbox. Also see %BS_LEFTTEXT. (default)

%BS_LEFTTEXT

Place the checkbox to the right of the text portion of the control. Combine with %BS_RIGHT to right-align text against the left side of the checkbox control.

%BS_MULTILINE

Wrap the caption text across multiple lines, if the text string is too long to fit on a single line in the button. To force a wrap, insert a $CR (or $CRLF) into the caption text at the desired wrap position.

%BS_NOTIFY

Enable a control to send the %BN_KILLFOCUS and %BN_SETFOCUS messages to the callback.

%BS_PUSHLIKE

Button state alternates (toggles) between normal (raised) and depressed (sunken) modes.

%BS_RIGHT

Place the text on the right side of the checkbox. Also see %BS_LEFTTEXT.

%BS_TEXT

Control displays a text caption/title. (default)

%BS_TOP

Place the text at the top of the control.

%BS_VCENTER

Center the text vertically in the control. (default)

%WS_BORDER 

Add a thin line border around the control.

%WS_DISABLED

Create a control that is initially disabled. A disabled control cannot receive input from the user.

%WS_GROUP

Define the start of a group of controls. The first control in each group should also use %WS_TABSTOP style. The next %WS_GROUP control in the tab order defines the end of this group and the start of a new group. Groups configured this way permit the arrow keys to shift focus between the controls within the group, and focus can jump from group to group with the usual TAB and SHIFT+TAB keys. Both tab stops and groups are permitted to wrap from the end of the tab order back to the start.

%WS_TABSTOP

Allow 3-state checkbox control to receive keyboard focus when the user presses the TAB and SHIFT+TAB keys. The TAB key shifts keyboard focus to the next control with the %WS_TABSTOP style, and SHIFT+TAB shifts focus to the previous control with %WS_TABSTOP. (default)

%WS_EX_ACCEPTFILES

The control will accept Drag+Drop files.

%WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE

Apply a sunken edge border to the control.

%WS_EX_DLGMODALFRAME

The control has a double border.

%WS_EX_LEFT

The control has generic "left-aligned" properties. (default)

%WS_EX_LTRREADING

Display the caption text using Left to Right reading-order properties. (default)

%WS_EX_RIGHT

The control has generic "right-aligned" properties. This style has an effect only if the shell language is Hebrew, Arabic, or another language that supports reading order alignment; otherwise, the style is ignored.

%WS_EX_RTLREADING

If the shell language is Hebrew, Arabic, or another language that supports reading order alignment, the caption text is displayed using Right to Left reading-order properties. For other languages, the style is ignored.

%WS_EX_STATICEDGE

Apply a three-dimensional border style to the control (intended to be used for items that do not accept user input).

%WS_EX_TRANSPARENT 

Controls/windows beneath the dialog are drawn before the dialog is drawn. The dialog is deemed transparent because elements behind the dialog have already been painted - the dialog itself is not drawn differently. True transparency is achieved by using Regions - see MSDN and/or the Platform SDK documentation for more information.
