Push button style Description

BS_BOTTOM

Places the text at the bottom of the button rectangle.

BS_CENTER

Centers the text horizontally in the button rectangle.

BS_DEFPUSHBUTTON

Creates a push button with a heavy black border. If the button is in a dialog box, the user can select the button by pressing the ENTER key, even when the button does not have the input focus. This style is useful for enabling the user to quickly select the most likely option, or default.

BS_LEFT

Left-aligns the text in the button rectangle.

BS_NOTIFY

Enables a button to send BN_KILLFOCUS and BN_SETFOCUS notification messages to its parent window. Note that the button sends the BN_CLICKED notification message regardless of whether it has this style.

BS_OWNERDRAW

Creates an owner-drawn button. The owner window receives a WM_MEASUREITEM message when the button is created and a WM_DRAWITEM message when a visual aspect of the button has changed.

BS_PUSHBUTTON

Creates a push button that posts a WM_COMMAND message to the owner window when the user clicks the button.

BS_RIGHT

Right-aligns text in the button rectangle.

BS_TOP

Places text at the top of the button rectangle.

BS_VCENTER

Vertically centers text in the button rectangle.

WS_TABSTOP

Turns the control into a tab stop, which enables the user to select the control by tabbing through the controls in a dialog box.
