Static Controls

[Brian]

Hi,

I was wondering why some @STATIC controls were allowing me to delete the control's text, and some did not. I put together this little test file to test the style flags, and found that if you have @SS_SIMPLE as a flag, the text doesn't get deleted. Mess about with it!

And here's the reason, according to Microsoft:

A simple rectangle and displays a single line of left-aligned text in the rectangle. The text line cannot be shortened or altered in any way. Also, if the control is disabled, the control does not gray its text.
