The following table shows window control styles that are
supported by Windows CE.
Check box styles
Description
BS_3STATE
Creates a check box in which the box can be
unavailable as well as selected or cleared. Use the unavailable
state to show that the state of the check box is not
determined.
BS_AUTO3STATE
Creates a three-state check box in which the state
cycles through selected, unavailable, and cleared each time the
user selects the check box.
BS_AUTOCHECKBOX
Creates a check box in which the check state
switches between selected and cleared each time the user selects
the check box.
BS_CHECKBOX
Creates a small, empty check box with a label
displayed to the right of it. To display the text to the left of
the check box, combine this flag with the BS_RIGHTBUTTON
style.
BS_LEFT
Left-aligns the text in the button rectangle on the
right side of the check box.
BS_PUSHLIKE
Makes a button (such as a check box, three-state
check box, or radio button) look and act like a push button. The
button looks raised when it isn't pushed or checked, and sunken
when it is pushed or checked.
BS_RIGHT
Right-aligns text in the button rectangle on the
right side of the check box.
BS_RIGHTBUTTON
Positions a check box square on the right side of
the button rectangle.
WS_TABSTOP
Turns the control into a tab stop, which enables
the user to select the control by tabbing through the controls in a
dialog box.
Combo box styles
Description
CBS_AUTOHSCROLL
Automatically scrolls the text in an edit control
to the right when the user types a character at the end of the
line. If this style is not set, only text that fits within the
rectangular boundary is enabled.
CBS_DISABLENOSCROLL
Shows a disabled vertical scroll bar in the list
box when the box does not contain enough items to scroll. Without
this style, the scroll bar is hidden when the list box does not
contain enough items.
CBS_DROPDOWN
Displays only the edit control by default. The user
can display the list box by selecting an icon next to the edit
control.
CBS_DROPDOWNLIST
Displays a static text field that displays the
current selection in the list box.
CBS_LOWERCASE
Converts to lowercase any uppercase characters that
are typed into the edit control of a combo box.
CBS_NOINTEGRALHEIGHT
Specifies that the combo box will be exactly the
size specified by the application when it created the combo box.
Usually, Windows CE sizes a combo box so that it does not display
partial items.
CBS_OEMCONVERT
Converts text typed in the combo box edit control
from the Windows CE character set to the OEM character set and then
back to the Windows CE set. This style is most useful for combo
boxes that contain file names. It applies only to combo boxes
created with the CBS_DROPDOWN style.
CBS_SORT
Sorts strings that are typed into the list
box.
CBS_UPPERCASE
Converts to uppercase any lowercase characters that
are typed into the edit control of a combo box.
WS_TABSTOP
Turns control into a tab stop, which enables the
user to select the control by tabbing through the controls in a
dialog box.
Edit control styles
Description
ES_AUTOHSCROLL
Automatically scrolls text to the right by 10
characters when the user types a character at the end of the line.
When the user presses the ENTER key, the control scrolls all text
back to the zero position.
ES_AUTOVSCROLL
Scrolls text up one page when the user presses the
ENTER key on the last line.
ES_CENTER
Centers text in a multiline edit control.
ES_LEFT
Left-aligns text.
ES_LOWERCASE
Converts all characters to lowercase as they are
typed into the edit control.
ES_MULTILINE
Designates a multiline edit control. The default is
a single-line edit control.
When the multiline edit control is in a dialog box, the default
response to pressing the ENTER key is to activate the default
button. To use the ENTER key as a carriage return, use the
ES_WANTRETURN style.
When the multiline edit control is not in a dialog box and the
ES_AUTOVSCROLL style is specified, the edit control shows as many
lines as possible and scrolls vertically when the user presses the
ENTER key. If you do not specify ES_AUTOVSCROLL, the edit control
shows as many lines as possible and beeps if the user presses the
ENTER key when no more lines can be displayed.
If you specify the ES_AUTOHSCROLL style, the multiline edit
control automatically scrolls horizontally when the caret goes past
the right edge of the control. To start a new line, the user must
press the ENTER key. If you do not specify ES_AUTOHSCROLL, the
control automatically wraps words to the beginning of the next line
when necessary. A new line is also started if the user presses the
ENTER key. The window size determines the position of the word
wrap. If the window size changes, the word wrapping position
changes and the text is redisplayed.
Multiline edit controls can have scroll bars. An edit control
with scroll bars processes its own scroll bar messages. Edit
controls without scroll bars scroll as described in the previous
paragraphs and process any scroll messages that are sent by the
parent window.
ES_NOHIDESEL
Negates the default behavior for an edit control.
The default behavior hides the selection when the control loses the
input focus and inverts the selection when the control receives the
input focus. If you specify ES_NOHIDESEL, the selected text is
inverted, even if the control does not have the focus.
ES_NUMBER
Accepts into the edit control only digits to be
typed.
ES_OEMCONVERT
Converts text typed in the edit control from the
Windows CE character set to the OEM character set and then converts
it back to the Windows CE set. This style is most useful for edit
controls that contain file names.
ES_PASSWORD
Displays an asterisk (*) for each character that is
typed into the edit control. You can use the EM_SETPASSWORDCHAR
message to change the displayed character.
ES_READONLY
Prevents the user from typing or editing text in
the edit control.
ES_RIGHT
Right-aligns text in a multiline edit control.
ES_UPPERCASE
Converts all characters to uppercase as they are
typed into the edit control.
ES_WANTRETURN
Specifies that a carriage return be inserted when
the user presses the ENTER key while typing text into a multiline
edit control in a dialog box. If you do not specify this style,
pressing the ENTER key has the same effect as pressing the dialog
box's default push button. This style has no effect on a
single-line edit control.
WS_TABSTOP
Turns the control into a tab stop, which enables
the user to select the control by tabbing through the controls in a
dialog box.
List box styles
Description
LBS_DISABLENOSCROLL
Shows a disabled vertical scroll bar for the list
box when the box does not contain enough items to scroll. If you do
not specify this style, the scroll bar is hidden when the list box
does not contain enough items.
LBS_EXTENDEDSEL
Enables the user to select multiple items by using
the SHIFT key and the mouse or hot keys.
LBS_MULTICOLUMN
Specifies a multicolumn list box that the user
scrolls through horizontally. You set the width of the columns by
using the LB_SETCOLUMNWIDTH message.
LBS_MULTIPLESEL
Turns string selection on or off each time a user
taps or double-taps a string in the list box. A user can select any
number of strings simultaneously.
LBS_NOINTEGRALHEIGHT
Specifies that the list box will be exactly the
size specified by the application when it created the list box.
Usually, Windows CE sizes a list box so that it does not display
partial items.
LBS_NOREDRAW
Ensures that the list box appearance is not
automatically updated when changes are made. You can change this
style by sending a WM_SETREDRAW message.
LBS_NOSEL
Specifies that the user can view list box strings
but cannot select them.
LBS_NOTIFY
Notifies the parent window when the user taps or
double-taps a string in the list box.
LBS_SORT
Sorts strings in the list box alphabetically.
LBS_STANDARD
Sorts strings in the list box alphabetically. The
parent window receives an input message when the user taps or
double-taps a string. The list box has borders on all sides.
LBS_USETABSTOPS
Enables a list box to recognize and expand tab
characters when drawing its strings. The default tab positions are
32 dialog box units. A dialog box unit is equal to one-fourth of
the current dialog box base-width unit. Windows CE calculates these
units based on the height and width of the current system
font.
LBS_WANTKEYBOARDINPUT
Specifies that the owner of the list box receives
WM_VKEYTOITEM messages when the user presses a key and the list box
has the input focus. This enables an application to perform special
processing on the keyboard input.
WS_TABSTOP
Turns the control into a tab stop, which enables
the user to select the control by tabbing through the controls in a
dialog box.
Push button styles
Description
BS_BOTTOM
Places the text at the bottom of the button
rectangle.
BS_CENTER
Centers the text horizontally in the button
rectangle.
BS_DEFPUSHBUTTON
Creates a push button with a heavy black border. If
the button is in a dialog box, the user can select the button by
pressing the ENTER key, even when the button does not have the
input focus. This style is useful for enabling the user to quickly
select the most likely option, or default.
BS_LEFT
Left-aligns the text in the button rectangle.
BS_NOTIFY
Enables a button to send BN_KILLFOCUS and
BN_SETFOCUS notification messages to its parent window. Note that
the button sends the BN_CLICKED notification message regardless of
whether it has this style.
BS_OWNERDRAW
Creates an owner-drawn button. The owner window
receives a WM_MEASUREITEM message when the button is created and a
WM_DRAWITEM message when a visual aspect of the button has
changed.
BS_PUSHBUTTON
Creates a push button that posts a WM_COMMAND
message to the owner window when the user clicks the button.
BS_RIGHT
Right-aligns text in the button rectangle.
BS_TOP
Places text at the top of the button
rectangle.
BS_VCENTER
Vertically centers text in the button
rectangle.
WS_TABSTOP
Turns the control into a tab stop, which enables
the user to select the control by tabbing through the controls in a
dialog box.
Radio button styles
Description
BS_AUTORADIOBUTTON
Creates a radio button that, when selected by a
user, clears all other buttons in the same group.
BS_LEFT
Left-aligns the text in the button rectangle on the
right side of the check box.
BS_RADIOBUTTON
Creates a small circle with a label displayed to
the right of it. To display the text to the left of the circle,
combine this flag with the BS_RIGHTBUTTON style.
BS_RIGHT
Right-aligns the text in the button rectangle on
the right side of the check box.
BS_RIGHTBUTTON
Positions a check box square on the right side of
the button rectangle.
WS_TABSTOP
Turns the control into a tab stop, which enables
the user to select the control by tabbing through the controls in a
dialog box.
Scroll bar styles
Description
SBS_HORZ
Designates a horizontal scroll bar. If you do not
specify the SBS_TOPALIGN style, the scroll bar has the height,
width, and position specified by the parameters of the
CreateWindowfunction.
SBS_VERT
Designates a vertical scroll bar. If you do not
specify the SBS_LEFTALIGN style, the scroll bar has the height,
width, and position specified by the parameters of the
CreateWindowfuntcion.
Static control styles
Description
SS_BITMAP
Specifies that a bitmap will be displayed in the
static control. The text is the name of a bitmap that is defined
elsewhere in the resource file, not a file name. The style ignores
the
nWidthand
nHeightparameters; the control automatically sizes itself to
accommodate the bitmap.
SS_CENTER
Specifies a simple rectangle and centers the error
value text in the rectangle. Windows CE formats the text before
display. The control automatically wraps words that extend past the
end of a line to the beginning of the next centered line.
SS_CENTERIMAGE
Specifies that the midpoint of a static control
with the SS_BITMAP or SS_ICON style will remain fixed when you
resize the control. The four sides are adjusted to accommodate a
new bitmap. If the bitmap is smaller than the control's client
area, the rest of the client area is filled with the color of the
pixel in the upper-left corner of the bitmap.
The SS_CENTERIMAGE style cannot be set by itself. It must always
be set in combination--through a bitwise
OR--with the SS_BITMAP style or the SS_ICON style.
Do not use SS_CENTERIMAGE for a static control that contains
text.
SS_ICON
Specifies that an icon will be displayed in the
static control. The text is the name of an icon defined elsewhere
in the resource file, not a file name. The style ignores the
nWidthand
nHeightparameters; the icon automatically sizes itself.
SS_LEFT
Specifies a rectangle and left-aligns the text in
the rectangle. Windows CE formats the text before display. The
control automatically wraps words that extend past the end of a
line to the beginning of the next left-aligned line.
SS_LEFTNOWORDWRAP
Specifies a rectangle and left-aligns the text in
the rectangle. Tabs are expanded, but words are not wrapped. Text
that extends past the end of a line is clipped.
SS_NOPREFIX
Prevents interpretation of any ampersand (&)
characters in the control's text as accelerator prefix characters.
An application can combine SS_NOPREFIX with other styles by
using the bitwise OR (|) operator. This can be useful when file
names or other strings that might contain an ampersand (&) must
be displayed within a static control in a dialog box.
SS_NOTIFY
Sends the parent window the STN_CLICKED
notification when the user clicks the control.
SS_RIGHT
Specifies a rectangle and right-aligns the
specified text in the rectangle. Windows CE formats the text before
display. The control automatically wraps words that extend past the
end of a line to the beginning of the next right-aligned line.
Trackbar control styles
Description
TBS_AUTOTICKS
The trackbar control will have a tick mark for each
increment in its range of values.
TBS_BOTH
The trackbar control will display tick marks on
both sides of the control. This will be both top and bottom when
used with TBS_HORZ or both left and right if used with
TBS_VERT.
TBS_BOTTOM
The trackbar control will display tick marks below
the control. This style is only valid with TBS_HORZ.
TBS_ENABLESELRANGE
The trackbar control can display a selection range
only. The tick marks at the starting and ending positions of a
selection range are displayed as triangles (instead of vertical
dashes), and the selection range is highlighted.
TBS_FIXEDLENGTH
The trackbar control allows the size of the slider
to be changed with the TBM_SETTHUMBLENGTH message.
TBS_HORZ
The trackbar control will be oriented vertically.
This is the default orientation.
TBS_LEFT
The trackbar control will display tick marks to the
left of the control. This style is only valid with TBS_VERT.
TBS_NOTHUMB
The trackbar control does not display a
slider.
TBS_NOTICKS
The trackbar control will not display any tick
marks.
TBS_RIGHT
The trackbar control will display tick marks to the
right of the control. This style is only valid with TBS_VERT.
TBS_TOP
The trackbar control will display tick marks above
the control. This style is only valid with TBS_HORZ.
TBS_VERT
The trackbar control will be oriented vertically.
This is the default orientation.
The following table shows common control styles that are
supported by
Windows CE.
Basic common control styles
Description
CCS_ADJUSTABLE
Enables a toolbar's built-in customization
features, which enable the user to drag a button to a new position
or to remove a button by dragging it off the toolbar. In addition,
the user can double-click the toolbar to display the
CustomizeToolbardialog box, which enables the user to add, delete,
and rearrange toolbar buttons.
CCS_BOTTOM
Causes the control to position itself at the bottom
of the parent window's client area and sets the width of the
control to be the same as the parent window's width. Status windows
have this style by default.
CCS_LEFT
Causes the control to display vertically on the
left side of the parent window.
CCS_NODIVIDER
Prevents a 2-pixel highlight from being drawn at
the top of the control.
CCS_NOMOVEX
Causes the control to resize and move itself
vertically, but not horizontally, in response to a WM_SIZE message.
This message does not apply if your control has the CCS_NORESIZE
style.
CCS_NOMOVEY
Causes the control to resize and move itself
horizontally, but not vertically, in response to a WM_SIZE message.
Header windows have this style by default. This style does not
apply if your control has the CCS_NORESIZE style.
CCS_NOPARENTALIGN
Prevents the control from automatically moving to
the top or bottom of the parent window. Instead, the control keeps
its position within the parent window despite changes to the size
of the parent. If the application also uses the CCS_TOP or
CCS_BOTTOM styles, it adjusts the height to the default, but does
not change the position and width of the control.
CCS_NORESIZE
Prevents the control from using the default width
and height when setting its initial size or a new size. Instead,
the control uses the width and height that is specified in the
request for creation or sizing.
CCS_RIGHT
Causes the control to display vertically on the
right side of the parent window.
CCS_TOP
Causes the control to position itself at the top of
the parent window client area and matches the width of the control
to the width of the parent window. Toolbars have this style by
default.
CCS_VERT
Causes the control to display vertically.
Date and time picker styles
Description
DTS_APPCANPARSE
Enables the owner to parse user input. When a date
time picker (DTP) control has this style, a user can make changes
within the client area of the control by pressing the F2 key. The
control sends a DTN_USERSTRING notification message when the user
is finished editing.
DTS_LONGDATEFORMAT
Displays the date in long format. The default
format string for this style is defined by LOCALE_SLONGDATEFORMAT,
which produces output like "Friday, April 19, 1998."
DTS_SHORTDATEFORMAT
Displays the date in short format. The default
format string for this style is defined by LOCALE_SSHORTDATE, which
produces output like "4/19/98."
DTS_SHOWNONE
Enables the control to accept "no date" as a valid
selection state. This state can be set with the DTM_SETSYSTEMTIME
message or verified with the DTM_GETSYSTEMTIME message.
DTS_TIMEFORMAT
Displays the time. The default format string for
this style is defined by LOCALE_STIMEFORMAT, which produces output
like "5:31:42 PM." An up-down control is placed to the right of the
DTP control to modify time values.
DTS_UPDOWN
Places an up-down control to the right of a DTP
control to modify time values. This style can be used instead of
the drop-down month calendar, which is the default style.
Header control styles
Description
HDS_BUTTONS
Causes each header item to look and behave like a
button. This style is useful if an application carries out a task
when the user clicks an item in the header control.
HDS_DRAGDROP
Enables drag-and-drop reordering of header
items.
HDS_FULLDRAG
Causes the header control to display column
contents even while a user resizes a column.
HDS_HIDDEN
Creates a header control that you can hide by
setting its height to zero. This style is useful when you use the
control as an information container instead of a visual

window must process the LVN_ENDLABELEDIT notification message.
LVS_EX_CHECKBOXES
Enables items in a list view control to be
displayed as check boxes. This style uses item state images to
produce the check box effect.
LVS_EX_FULLROWSELECT
Specifies that when an item is selected, the item
and all of its subitems are highlighted. This style is available
only in conjunction with the LVS_REPORT style.
LVS_EX_GRIDLINES

LVS_LIST
Specifies list view.
LVS_NOCOLUMNHEADER
Specifies that no column header is displayed in
report view, which is the default view.
LVS_NOLABELWRAP
Displays item text on a single line in icon view.
By default, item text might wrap in icon view.
LVS_NOSCROLL
Disables scrolling, so all items must be displayed
within the client area.
LVS_NOSORTHEADER
Specifies that column headers do not work like
buttons. This style is useful if clicking a column header in report
view does not carry out any action, such as sorting.
LVS_OWNERDATA
Creates a virtual list view control.
LVS_OWNERDRAWFIXED
Enables the owner window to paint items in report
view. The list view control sends a WM_DRAWITEM message to paint
each item; it does not send separate messages for each subitem. The
itemDatamember of the
DRAWITEMSTRUCTstructure contains the item data for the
specified list view item.
LVS_REPORT
Specifies report view.
LVS_SHAREIMAGELISTS
Specifies that the control does not destroy the
image lists assigned to it when it is destroyed. This style enables
the same image lists to be used with multiple list view
controls.
LVS_SHOWSELALWAYS
Always shows the selection highlighted, even if the
control is not activated.
LVS_SINGLESEL
Enables only one item to be selected at a time. By
default, multiple items can be selected.

top.
Rebar styles
Description
CCS_VERT
Causes the control to appear vertically at the left
side of the parent window.
RBBS_NOGRIPPER
Creates a rebar band that displays no gripper. This
style applies to individual bands, not to the entire rebar. Windows
CE is the only Windows-based OS that supports the RBS_NOGRIPPER
style for rebar controls.
RBS_AUTOSIZE
Specifies that the layout of a band will
automatically change when the size or position of its control
changes. When the layout changes, the control sends
an RBN_AUTOSIZE notification.
RBS_BANDBORDERS
Displays narrow lines to separate adjacent
bands.
RBS_FIXEDORDER
Displays multiple bands in the same order at all
times. A user can move bands to different rows, but the band order
is static.
RBS_SMARTLABELS
Displays the icon for a band that has an icon only
when the band is minimized. If a band has a text label, the label
is displayed only when the band is in its restored state or in its
maximized state.
Windows CE is the only Windows-based OS that supports the
RBS_SMARTLABELS style for rebar controls.
RBS_VARHEIGHT
Displays a band at the minimum required height,
when possible. Without this style, the command bands control
displays all bands at the same height, using the height of the
tallest visible band to determine the height of other bands.
RBS_VERTICALGRIPPER
Displays the size grip vertically, instead of
horizontally, in a vertical command bands control. This style is
ignored for command bands controls that do not have the CCS_VERT
style.
Tab control styles
Description
TCS_BOTTOM
Displays the tabs at the bottom of the control. If
the TCS_VERTICAL style is also specified, this style is interpreted
as TCS_RIGHT.
TCS_BUTTONS
Displays all tabs as buttons with no border drawn
around the display area.
TCS_FIXEDWIDTH
Specifies that all tabs are the same width. You can
not combine this style with the TCS_RIGHTJUSTIFY style.
TCS_FLATBUTTONS

indented while other tabs appear to be on the same plane as the
background. This style only applies to tab controls that have the
TCS_BUTTONS style.
TCS_FLIP
Flips all tabs from top to bottom or left to
right.
TCS_FOCUSNEVER
Creates a tab control that never receives the input
focus.
TCS_FOCUSONBUTTONDOWN
Specifies that a given tab, when selected, receives
the input focus.
TCS_FORCEICONLEFT
Aligns an icon with the left edge of a fixed-width
tab. This style can only be used with the TCS_FIXEDWIDTH
style.
TCS_FORCELABELLEFT
Aligns a label with the left edge of a fixed-width
tab; that is, it displays the label immediately to the right of the
icon instead of centering it. This style can only be used with the
TCS_FIXEDWIDTH style, and it implies the TCS_FORCEICONLEFT
style.
TCS_MULTILINE
Displays multiple rows of tabs, if necessary, so
that all tabs are visible at once.
TCS_MULTISELECT
Specifies that multiple tabs can be selected by
holding down CTRL when selecting a tab. This style only applies to
tabs that have the TCS_BUTTONS style.
TCS_OWNERDRAWFIXED
Specifies that the parent window is responsible for
drawing tabs.
TCS_RAGGEDRIGHT
Leaves a ragged right edge by not stretching a row
of tabs to fill the entire width of the control. This style is the
default.

Displays multiple tabs vertically on the right side
of controls that use the TCS_VERTICAL style. If the TCS_VERTICAL
style is not specified, this style is interpreted as
TCS_BOTTOM.
TCS_RIGHTJUSTIFY
Increases the width of each tab, if necessary, so
that each row of tabs fills the entire width of the tab control.
This style is valid only when it is used with the TCS_MULTILINE
style.
TCS_SCROLLOPPOSITE
Specifies that unused tabs move to the opposite
side of the control when a new tab is selected.
TCS_SINGLELINE
Displays only one row of tabs. The user can scroll
to see more tabs, if necessary. This style is the default.
TCS_VERTICAL
Displays multiple tabs vertically on the left side
of the control. This style is valid only when it is used with the
TCS_MULTILINE style. To make tabs appear on the right side of the
control, combine this style with the TCS_RIGHT style.
Toolbar styles
Description
TBSTYLE_AUTOSIZE
Calculates a button width based on the text of the
button, not on the size of the image.
TBSTYLE_BUTTON
Creates a toolbar button that looks like a standard
Windows CE push button.
TBSTYLE_CHECK
Creates a button that toggles between the pressed
and not pressed states each time the user clicks it. The button has
a different background color when it is in the pressed state.
TBSTYLE_CHECKGROUP
Creates a check button that stays pressed until
another button in the group is pressed.
TBSTYLE_CUSTOMERASE
Creates a toolbar that generates NM_CUSTOMDRAW
notification messages when it processes WM_ERASEBKGND

button in the group is pressed.
TBSTYLE_LIST
Places button text to the right of button bitmaps.
This style can only be used with the TBSTYLE_FLAT style. In Windows
CE, the TBSTYLE_LIST style creates a toolbar with variable width
buttons. If you want to use the TBSTYLE_LIST style with fixed width
buttons, you can override the default behavior by sending a
TB_SETBUTTONSIZE or TB_SETBUTTONWIDTH message.
TBSTYLE_SEP
Creates a separator, which provides a small gap
between button groups. A button that has this style does not
receive user input.
TBSTYLE_TOOLTIPS
Creates a ToolTip control that an application can
use to display descriptive text for the buttons in the
toolbar.
TBSTYLE_TRANSPARENT
Creates a transparent toolbar, in which the toolbar
is transparent, but the buttons are not. Button text appears under
button bitmaps.
TBSTYLE_WRAPABLE
Creates a toolbar that can have multiple rows of
buttons. Toolbar buttons can wrap to the next line when the toolbar
becomes too narrow to include all buttons on the same line.
Wrapping occurs on separation and non-group boundaries.
Tree view styles
Description
TVS_CHECKBOXES
Enables items in a tree view control to be
displayed as check boxes. This style uses item state images to
produce the check box effect.
TVS_DISABLEDRAGDROP
Prevents the tree view control from sending
TVN_BEGINDRAG notification messages.
TVS_EDITLABELS
Enables the user to edit the labels of tree view
items.
TVS_HASBUTTONS
Displays plus (+) and minus (-) buttons next to
parent items. The user taps the buttons to expand or collapse a
