Container Styles
Styles Tab
- The Container dialog is used to set the
type, general options, and styles of your containers. It
is also used to set the ID symbol and value. There are Cancel and Enter buttons along the bottom of the dialog box.
Types:
- Extended allows the user
to select one or more container items in any combination.
This is valid for all views except the tree view.
- Multiple allows the user
to select zero or more container items. This is valid for
all views except the tree view.
- Single allows the user to
select only one container item at any given time. When a
container item is selected, the previous container item
selected is de-selected. This is valid for all views and
is the only type supported for the tree view.
Options:
- Auto position allows the
container items to be arranged when the window size
changes, container items are inserted, removed, sorted,
invalidated, or filtered, the font or font size changes
or the window title text changes. It is only valid with
the icon view.
- Verify pointer verifies
that the application pointers are members of the
container before they are used. Notes: 1. The
CCS_VERIFYPOINTERS style bit does not verify the validity
of a pointer; it only verifies whether a pointer is a
member of a container's linked list. 2. After your code
has been developed and tested, you may want to remove the
CCS_VERIFYPOINTERS style bit in order to improve the
container's performance otherwise, the container will
attempt to verify all pointers, which will slow its
response to actions that users perform.
- Read only prevents the
user from editing any of the text within a container
window.
- Mini Record causes the
container to interpret all container records as being
smaller than they would otherwise be. If a CM_ALLOCRECORD
message is received, all records are interpreted and
allocated according to the information in the
MINIRECORDCORE data structure instead of the RECORDCORE
data structure, which is used if this style is not
specified.
- Mini-icons causes the
container to support mini-icons within in the
MINIRECORDCORE data structure.
- No control pointer prevents
the container from sending a WM_CONTROLPOINTER message
when a WM_MOUSEMOVE message is received by the container.
