INFO: Dialog Box Frame Styles

ID: Q74334

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Win32 Software Development Kit (SDK)
Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) versions 3.0, 3.1

SUMMARY

Dialog boxes can have either the WS_DLGFRAME or the WS_BORDER style. If a dialog box is created with both of these styles, it will have a caption bar instead of the expected frame and border. This is because WS_BORDER | WS_DLGFRAME is equal to WS_CAPTION.

To create a dialog box with a modal dialog frame and a caption, use DS_MODALFRAME combined with WS_CAPTION.
