style of a CStatic

[tzzdvd]

Is it possible to change the style of a CStatic run-time (for example make sunken)?
I tried to use
ModifyStyleEx(0, WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE)
but it doesn't work

Thank's for all
Davide

I am not sure... but you may have to call UpdateData(FALSE) after you set it

Use ClassWizard to create a class derived from CStatic. Use the wizard to coverload the PreCreateWindow() member function:
class CMyStatic : public CStatic
{
...
protected:
virtual BOOL PreCreateWindow(CREATESTRUCT& cs);
...
};

BOOL CMyClass:reCreateWindow(CREATESTRUCT& cs)
{
// TODO: Add your specialized code here and/or call the base class
cs.dwStyle |= WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE;
return baseCEditResponseCode:reCreateWindow(cs);
}
