setDialogStyle

Syntax

int setDialogStyle(int flags)

Arguments

flags
An integer of bitwise flags enabling different window styles

Return

Returns the previous settings of the flags as an integer if the function succeeds. Returns zero if it failed.

Description

Sets (or enables) a particular style on a dialog. For example, you can change the window border to a thin style using WS_BORDER, or to a thick resizeable border using WS_THICKFRAME. The [window style flags are defined at MSDN]. You can clear these settings later using (clearDialogStyle)?.

Comments

Internally, SetDialogStyle is a wrapper around the [SetWindowLong Win32 API function] with GWL_STYLE as the second parameter.

Example

// Change the border to a thin style
setDialogStyle(WS_BORDER);
