Window Styles

• WS_BORDER   Creates a window that has a border.
  
  
• WS_CAPTION   Creates a window that has a title bar (implies the WS_BORDER style). Cannot be used with the WS_DLGFRAME style.
  
  
• WS_CHILD   Creates a child window. Cannot be used with the WS_POPUP style.
  
  
• WS_CLIPCHILDREN   Excludes the area occupied by child windows when you draw within the parent window. Used when you create the parent window.
  
  
• WS_CLIPSIBLINGS   Clips child windows relative to each other; that is, when a particular child window receives a paint message, the WS_CLIPSIBLINGS style clips all other overlapped child windows out of the region of the child window to be updated. (If WS_CLIPSIBLINGS is not given and child windows overlap, when you draw within the client area of a child window, it is possible to draw within the client area of a neighboring child window.) For use with the WS_CHILD style only.

• WS_GROUP   Specifies the first control of a group of controls in which the user can move from one control to the next with the arrow keys. All controls defined with the WS_GROUP style FALSE after the first control belong to the same group. The next control with the WS_GROUP style starts the next group (that is, one group ends where the next begins).
