Checkbox text won't wrap

[Mark Newman]

I'm trying to set a DDT checkbox to multiline without much
success. I set the control width small enough so that all
the text won't show on one line and also used the %BS_MULTILINE
style in the CONTROL ADD CHECKBOX statement.

However, no luck. I'm starting to wonder if I have some weird
video driver issues (see my other post about "Both Option Buttons
On"), but the checkboxes work fine in other Win apps and in VB.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Thanks Semen!

Your sample code works, but I don't understand why I can't do
this with the CONTROL ADD CHECKBOX statement. Is this a Windows
issue or a DDT problem?

Anyway, many thanks for the help!

Here - DDT.

With buttons a question is not so obvious.
1) Not DDT - it simply execute SendMessage ... BM_SETCHECK
2) Windows - also question, because MSDN talks simply
An application sends a BM_SETCHECK message to set the check state of a radio button or check box.
No one word about WS_GROUP options.

Mark;

Regarding the WS_GROUP style...

First time you use WS_GROUP style when creating your controls starts the grouping,
the second time you use WS_GROUP style to create another control marks the end of that group.
The next control created with WS_GROUP starts the next grouping of controls etc.

I have the six CONTROL ADD OPTION... statements consecutively,
with the 1st, 3rd and 5th ones with the %WS_GROUP option and
the buttons work fine in the UI.

I was under the impression that Windows itself didn't allow
multiple option buttons within a group to be TRUE, but that
seems not to be the case.
