You didn't post your actual code, so I could only guess at what you did
wrong. Here is some sample code that successfully accesses the style member
of a control pointer:
ControlPtr cp;
enum controlStyles cs;
FormPtr frm = FrmGetActiveForm();
cp = FrmGetObjectPtr( frm, FrmGetObjectIndex( frm, MainOkButton ) );
cs = cp->style;
if (cs == buttonCtl)
WinDrawChars("it's a button", 13, 10, 80 );
