How to set borderstyle/ID on child DDT dialog?

[E B Knoppert]

I'm using a DDT dialog as child control, i CAN'T set it's border.

Why is this behaviour?

Is there a poss. that i can set it to %WS_BORDER thin and or clientedge?

Only ds_modal seems to work.

Tried to set this afterwards using setwindowlong

And;
Can i set it's ID? (like 100)

Edwin --
This is a definition of child dialog from the program, which I posted 5 minutes ago (see Source forum)
Dialog New hWndParent, "", x, y, cx, cy, %WS_CHILD Or %WS_BORDER, %WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE To hDlg

For SetWindowLong you need to know handle of window.
hDlg here is exactly, what you need.

This DOESN'T work for DS_CONTROL style..

That's my problem

Thanks,

%ws_child or %ds_control as style works

could be it's better to use
%ws_child or %ws_clipchildren or %ws_clipsiblings or %ds_control,
%ws_ex_transparent or %ws_ex_clientedge

(like chris offers in his sample http://www.powerbasic.com/support/pb...ad.php?t=22596
)

it's possible to set alone %ds_control
dialog new hwndparent, ", x, y, cx, cy, %ws_child, %ws_ex_clientedge to hdlg
setwindowlong hdlg, %gwl_style, %ds_control
but results are strange
