BUG: Cannot Remove BS_PUSHLIKE in Resource Editor

The information in this article applies to:

• The Resource Editor included with: - Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Editions, versions 4.0, 4.1, 4.2

SYMPTOMS

Once you set the push-like (BS_PUSHLIKE) style for a radio button or check box and close the dialog editor window, you cannot remove the push-like style from the resource file.

You can deselect this style in the button's properties, but this change does not hold and the push-like style remains set.

RESOLUTION

The only way to remove the BS_PUSHLIKE style once it has been set is by editing the .RC file in a text editor.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this bug and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
