CWindowImpl::Create

This method creates a window based on a new window class. Create first registers the window class if it has not yet been registered. The newly created window is automatically attached to the CWindowImpl object.

Syntax

HWND Create( HWND hWndParent, RECT& rcPos, LPCTSTR szWindowName = NULL, DWORD dwStyle = WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE, DWORD dwExStyle = 0, UINT nID = 0 );

Remarks

Windows CE does not support stand alone menu bars, so the nID parameter must be set to zero, unless you use it as a child-window identifier.

Windows CE supports the following two new extended window styles:

WS_EX_NOACTIVATE

A top level window created with this style cannot be activated. If a child window has this style, tapping it will not cause its top-level parent to be activated. A window that has this style will receive stylus events, but neither it nor its child windows can get the focus.

WS_EX_NOANIMATION

A window created with this style does not show animated exploding and imploding rectangles, and does not have a button on the taskbar.

Windows CE does not support the following dwExStyle flags:

WS_EX_ACCEPTFILES	WS_EX_LEFTSCROLLBAR
WS_EX_LEFT	WS_EX_MDICHILD
WS_EX_LTRREADING	WS_EX_PALETTEWINDOW
WS_EX_NOPARENTNOTIFY	WS_EX_RIGHTSCROLLBAR
WS_EX_RIGHT	WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW
WS_EX_RTLREADING	WS_EX_TOPMOST
WS_EX_APPWINDOW	WS_EX_TRANSPARENT

Windows CE does not support the following dwStyle flags:

WS_CHILDWINDOW	WS_ICONIC
WS_MAXIMIZE	WS_MAXIMIZEBOX
WS_MINIMIZE	WS_MINIMIZEBOX
WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW	WS_POPUPWINDOW
WS_SIZEBOX	WS_THICKFRAME
WS_TILED	WS_TILEDWINDOW

All windows in Windows CE implicitly have the WS_CLIPSIBLINGS and WS_CLIPCHILDREN styles.

For control styles that Windows CE does not support, see CreateWindow.
