[RESOLVED] Radio Buttons - WS_GROUP & WS_TABSTOP

[Brenton S.]

Hi dsmbala,

Well, here's an excerpt from Microsoft's documentation about the use of WS_GROUP:

WS_GROUP Specifies the first control of a group of controls in which the user can move from one control to the next with the arrow keys. All controls defined with the WS_GROUP style FALSE after the first control belong to the same group. The next control with the WS_GROUP style starts the next group (that is, one group ends where the next begins).

Therefore it would not be necessary to include the WS_GROUP style for both the first and last radio button in each group.

As for drawing a horizontal bar, I believe it is possible to do using CreateWindow. Mabye something like this:

 
hwnd = CreateWindowEx(WS_EX_LEFT | WS_EX_LTRREADING | WS_STATICEDGE,
	   "STATIC",
	   (LPCTSTR)NULL,
	   WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE,
	   0,
	   0,
	   375,
	   1,
	   hwndParent,
	   (HMENU)NULL,
	   hInstance,
	   (LPVOID)NULL);

I hope I've been of some help.
