This method sets the style of the control window.

Syntax 

HRESULT put_WindowStyleEx(
  long 
pWindowStyleEx
);

Parameters

pWindowStyleEx

[in] Value that specifies the style of the control window.

Return Value

Returns NOERROR.

Remarks

This method uses EX window styles. For a complete list of extended window styles, see the CreateWindowExfunction in the Win32 SDK.

Use this property to change the overall style of the video window; for example, to remove the border and caption areas of the video window.

It is a fairly thin wrapper on top of setting the GWL_STYLE value of the Win32 GetWindowLongfunction and therefore must be treated with care.

Be sure the current styles are first retrieved, and then the necessary bit fields are added or removed.

Do not use the following window styles because they are not validated:

  • WS_DISABLED

  • WS_HSCROLL

  • WS_ICONIC

  • WS_MAXIMIZE

  • WS_MINIMIZE

  • WS_VSCROLL

With some exceptions (noted here), the acceptable flags are the same as those allowed by the Win32 CreateWindowfunction.
