11.4.4..Borders..................................................................................................

One of the visual features you can give a control is to draw its borders. As it happens,

most Microsoft Windows controls have a 3-D look by default. Some other controls must

explicitly be given a border. To add a border to a control, at design time, set its Border

property to True. If you are programmatically creating the control, add the

WS_BORDER style to it:

void CSecondDlg::OnSecondControl()

{

// TODO: Add your control notification handler code here

CWnd *Second = new CWnd;

Second->Create(NULL, NULL, WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_BORDER, );

}

The border style is defined as:

#define WS_BORDER 0x00800000L

To raised the borders of such a control, add the WS_THICKFRAME to its styles:

BOOL CBordersDlg::OnInitDialog()

{

CDialog::OnInitDialog();

// TODO: Add extra initialization here

CtrlBorders->Create(NULL, NULL,

WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_THICKFRAME, );

return TRUE; // return TRUE unless you set the focus to a control

// EXCEPTION: OCX Property Pages should return FALSE

}
