SYMPTOMS
========
Once you set the push-like (BS_PUSHLIKE) style for a radio button or check box
and close the dialog editor window, you cannot remove the push-like style from
the resource file.
You can deselect this style in the button's properties, but this change does not
hold and the push-like style remains set.
RESOLUTION
==========
The only way to remove the BS_PUSHLIKE style once it has been set is by editing
the .RC file in a text editor.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the
beginning of this article. This problem was corrected in Microsoft Visual C++,
version 6.0.
MORE INFORMATION
================
Here is an example of a dialog resource with both a radio button and a check box
with BS_PUSHLIKE:
IDD_DIALOG1 DIALOG DISCARDABLE 0, 0, 183, 92
STYLE DS_MODALFRAME | WS_POPUP | WS_CAPTION | WS_SYSMENU
CAPTION "Dialog"
FONT 8, "MS Sans Serif"
BEGIN
DEFPUSHBUTTON "OK",IDOK,126,7,50,14
PUSHBUTTON "Cancel",IDCANCEL,126,24,50,14
CONTROL "Radio1",IDC_RADIO1,"Button",BS_AUTORADIOBUTTON |
BS_PUSHLIKE,18,22,39,10
CONTROL "Check1",IDC_CHECK1,"Button",BS_AUTOCHECKBOX |
BS_PUSHLIKE | WS_TABSTOP,19,49,41,10
END
Here's the same dialog with the BS_PUSHLIKE style removed:
