Static Styles

• SS_BLACKFRAME   Specifies a box with a frame drawn with the same color as window frames. The default is black.
  
  
• SS_BLACKRECT   Specifies a rectangle filled with the color used to draw window frames. The default is black.
  
  
• SS_CENTER   Designates a simple rectangle and displays the given text centered in the rectangle. The text is formatted before it is displayed. Words that would extend past the end of a line are automatically wrapped to the beginning of the next centered line.
  
  
• SS_GRAYFRAME   Specifies a box with a frame drawn with the same color as the screen background (desktop). The default is gray.
  
  
• SS_GRAYRECT   Specifies a rectangle filled with the color used to fill the screen background. The default is gray.
  
  
• SS_ICON   Designates an icon displayed in the dialog box. The given text is the name of an icon (not a filename) defined elsewhere in the resource file. The nWidth and nHeight parameters are ignored; the icon automatically sizes itself.
  
  
• SS_LEFT   Designates a simple rectangle and displays the given text flush-left in the rectangle. The text is formatted before it is displayed. Words that would extend past the end of a line are automatically wrapped to the beginning of the next flush-left line.
  
  
• SS_LEFTNOWORDWRAP   Designates a simple rectangle and displays the given text flush-left in the rectangle. Tabs are expanded, but words are not wrapped. Text that extends past the end of a line is clipped.
  
  
• SS_NOPREFIX   Unless this style is specified, Windows will interpret any ampersand (&) characters in the control’s text to be accelerator prefix characters. In this case, the ampersand (&) is removed and the next character in the string is underlined. If a static control is to contain text where this feature is not wanted, SS_NOPREFIX may be added. This static-control style may be included with any of the defined static controls. You can combine SS_NOPREFIX with other styles by using the bitwise OR operator. This is most often used when filenames or other strings that may contain an ampersand (&) need to be displayed in a static control in a dialog box.
  
  
• SS_RIGHT   Designates a simple rectangle and displays the given text flush-right in the rectangle. The text is formatted before it is displayed. Words that would extend past the end of a line are automatically wrapped to the beginning of the next flush-right line.
  
  
• SS_SIMPLE   Designates a simple rectangle and displays a single line of text flush-left in the rectangle. The line of text cannot be shortened or altered in any way. (The control’s parent window or dialog box must not process the WM_CTLCOLOR message.)
  
  
• SS_USERITEM   Specifies a user-defined item.
  
  
• SS_WHITEFRAME   Specifies a box with a frame drawn with the same color as the window background. The default is white.
  
  
• SS_WHITERECT   Specifies a rectangle filled with the color used to fill the window background. The default is white.
