Can someone please explain -style to me? In the gui documentation, I see it referred to in terms of AxWindow but not Window. Can it be used for both? How about a DialogBox?
Also, where can I find info on the other styles, like -addstyle, - pushstyle, -remstyle, -popstyle, -exstyle, -exaddstyle, -expushstyle, - exremstyle, -expopstyle? I have been trying to get my Tab key to traverse textfields on a webform in Internet Explorer, which is embedded in my $mainWindow via an AxWindow. According to my interpretation of Microsoft's definitions for windows functions, the CreateWindowEx sections says the parent window would receive a window style (I don't know whether this is performed in win32-gui as a -style or -exstyle, or some other method) of WS_EX_CONTROLPARENT. Microsoft's definition of WS_EX_CONTROLPARENT reads: "The window itself contains child windows that should take part in dialog box navigation. If this style is specified, the dialog manager recurses into children of this window when performing navigation operations such as handling the TAB key, an arrow key, or a keyboard mnemonic." I have tried several variations, changing from -style => WS_EX_CONTROLPARENT, -exstyle => WS_EX_CONTENTPARENT, to -expushstyle => WS_EX_CONTROLPARENT, but I have had no success. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer. Brad Smith
