Static Control Styles
The following table shows the styles that are supported by Windows CE.
| Static control style | Description |
|---|---|
| SS_BITMAP | Specifies that a bitmap will be displayed in the static control. The text is the name of a bitmap that is defined elsewhere in the resource file, not a file name. The style ignores the nWidth and nHeight parameters; the control automatically sizes itself to accommodate the bitmap. |
| SS_CENTER | Specifies a simple rectangle and centers the error value text in the rectangle. Windows CE formats the text before display. The control automatically wraps words that extend past the end of a line to the beginning of the next centered line. |
| SS_CENTERIMAGE | Specifies that the midpoint of a static control with the SS_BITMAP or SS_ICON style will remain fixed when you resize the control. The four sides are adjusted to accommodate a new bitmap. If the bitmap is smaller than the control's client area, the rest of the client area is filled with the color of the pixel in the upper-left corner of the bitmap.
The SS_CENTERIMAGE style cannot be set by itself. It must always be set in combination--through a bitwise OR--with the SS_BITMAP style or the SS_ICON style. Do not use SS_CENTERIMAGE for a static control that contains text. |
| SS_ICON | Specifies that an icon will be displayed in the static control. The text is the name of an icon defined elsewhere in the resource file, not a file name. The style ignores the nWidth and nHeight parameters; the icon automatically sizes itself. |
| SS_LEFT | Specifies a rectangle and left-aligns the text in the rectangle. Windows CE formats the text before display. The control automatically wraps words that extend past the end of a line to the beginning of the next left-aligned line. |
| SS_LEFTNOWORDWRAP | Specifies a rectangle and left-aligns the text in the rectangle. Tabs are expanded, but words are not wrapped. Text that extends past the end of a line is clipped. |
| SS_NOPREFIX | Prevents interpretation of any ampersand (&) characters in the control's text as accelerator prefix characters.
An application can combine SS_NOPREFIX with other styles by using the bitwise OR (|) operator. This can be useful when file names or other strings that might contain an ampersand (&) must be displayed within a static control in a dialog box. |
| SS_NOTIFY | Sends the parent window the STN_CLICKED notification when the user clicks the control. |
| SS_RIGHT | Specifies a rectangle and right-aligns the specified text in the rectangle. Windows CE formats the text before display. The control automatically wraps words that extend past the end of a line to the beginning of the next right-aligned line. |
