Editing Control Properties

 

The latest version of this topic can be found at Editing Control Properties.

To edit the properties of a control or controls

  1. In the dialog box, select the control you want to modify.

    Note

    If you select multiple controls, only the properties common to the selected controls can be edited.

  2. In the Properties window, change the properties of your control.

    Note

    When you set the Bitmap property for a button, radio button, or check box control equal to True, the style BS_BITMAP is implemented for your control. For more information, see Button Styles. For an example of associating a bitmap with a control, see CButton::SetBitmap. Bitmaps will not appear on your control while you are in the Dialog resource editor.

To undo changes to the properties of a control

  1. Make sure the control has focus in the Dialog editor.

  2. Choose Undo from the Edit menu (if focus is not on the control, the Undo command will be unavailable).
