This function creates an overlapped, pop-up, or child window with an extended style; otherwise, this function is identical to the CreateWindow function.

Syntax

HWND CreateWindowEx(
  DWORD dwExStyle, 
  LPCTSTR lpClassName, 
  LPCTSTR lpWindowName, 
  DWORD dwStyle, 
  int x, a
  int y, 
  int nWidth, 
  int nHeight, 
  HWND hWndParent, 
  HMENU hMenu, 
  HINSTANCE hInstance, 
  LPVOID lpParam 
);

Parameters

  • dwExStyle
    [in] Specifies the extended style of the window. This parameter can be one of the following values:

    Value Description

    WS_EX_ACCEPTFILES

    Specifies that a window created with this style accepts drag-drop files.

    WS_EX_CAPTIONOKBTN

    Adds an OK button in the caption bar.

    WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE

    Specifies that a window has a border with a sunken edge.

    WS_EX_CONTEXTMENU

    Adds a Help button in the caption bar.

    WS_EX_DLGMODALFRAME

    Creates a window that has a double border; the window can, optionally, be created with a title bar by specifying the WS_CAPTION style in the dwStyle parameter.

    WS_EX_INK

    Indicates that no default beeping sound is generated on clicking on the window.

    WS_EX_LAYOUTRTL

    Creates a window whose horizontal origin is on the right edge. Increasing horizontal values advance to the left.

    WS_EX_LTRREADING

    The window text is displayed using left-to-right reading-order properties. This is the default.

    WS_EX_NOACTIVATE

    A top-level window created with this style cannot be activated. If a child window has this style, tapping it does not cause its top-level parent to be activated. A window that has this style receives stylus events, but neither it nor its child windows can get the focus. Supported in Windows CE 2.0 and later.

    WS_EX_NOANIMATION

    A window created with this style does not show animated exploding and imploding rectangles, and does not have a button on the taskbar. Supported in Windows CE 2.0 and later.

    WS_EX_NODRAG

    A window created with this style cannot be dragged using a mouse or stylus.

    WS_EX_NOINHERITLAYOUT

    A window created with this style does not pass its window layout to its child windows.

    WS_EX_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW

    Combines the WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE and WS_EX_WINDOWEDGE styles.

    WS_EX_PALETTEWINDOW

    Combines the WS_EX_WINDOWEDGE, WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW, and WS_EX_TOPMOST styles.

    WS_EX_RTLREADING

    If the shell language is Hebrew, Arabic, or another language that supports reading-order alignment, the window text is displayed using right-to-left reading-order properties. For other languages, the style is ignored.

    WS_EX_STATICEDGE

    Creates a window with a three-dimensional border style intended to be used for items that do not accept user input.

    WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW

    Creates a tool window; that is, a window intended to be used as a floating toolbar. A tool window does not appear in the taskbar or in the dialog that appears when the user presses ALT+TAB. If a tool window has a system menu, its icon is not displayed on the title bar.

    WS_EX_TOPMOST

    Specifies that a window created with this style should be placed above all non-topmost windows and should stay above them, even when the window is deactivated. To add or remove this style, use the SetWindowPos function.

    WS_EX_WINDOWEDGE

    Specifies that a window has a border with a raised edge.

  • lpClassName
    [in] Long pointer to an atom or null-terminated string. If this parameter is an atom, it must be a global atom created by a previous call to the RegisterClass function. The atom must be in the low-order word of lpClassName; the high-order word must be zero.

    If lpClassName is a string, it specifies the window class name. The class name can be any name registered with the RegisterClass function or any of the predefined control-class names.

  • lpWindowName
    [in] Long pointer to a null-terminated string that specifies the window name.

    If the window style specifies a title bar, the window title pointed to by lpWindowName is displayed in the title bar. When using CreateWindow to create controls, such as buttons, check boxes, and static controls, use lpWindowName to specify the text of the control.

  • dwStyle
    [in] Specifies the style of the window being created. This parameter can be a combination of the following window styles, plus the control styles indicated in the Remarks section.

    Value Description

    WS_BORDER

    Creates a window that has a thin-line border.

    WS_CAPTION

    Creates a window that has a title bar (includes the WS_BORDER style).

    WS_CHILD

    Creates a child window. This style cannot be used with the WS_POPUP style.

    WS_CHILDWINDOW

    Same as the WS_CHILD style.

    WS_CLIPCHILDREN

    Excludes the area occupied by child windows when drawing occurs within the parent window. This style is used when creating the parent window.

    WS_CLIPSIBLINGS

    Clips child windows relative to each other; that is, when a particular child window receives a WM_PAINT message, the WS_CLIPSIBLINGS style clips all other overlapping child windows out of the region of the child window to be updated. If WS_CLIPSIBLINGS is not specified and child windows overlap, it is possible, when drawing within the client area of a child window, to draw within the client area of a neighboring child window.

    WS_DISABLED

    Creates a window that is initially disabled. A disabled window cannot receive input from the user.

    WS_DLGFRAME

    Creates a window that has a border of a style typically used with dialog boxes. A window with this style cannot have a title bar.

    WS_GROUP

    Specifies the first control of a group of controls. The group consists of this first control and all controls defined after it, up to the next control with the WS_GROUP style. The first control in each group usually has the WS_TABSTOP style so that the user can move from group to group. The user can subsequently change the keyboard focus from one control in the group to the next control in the group by using the direction keys.

    WS_HSCROLL

    Creates a window that has a horizontal scroll bar.

    WS_MAXIMIZEBOX

    Creates a window that has a Maximize button. Cannot be combined with the WS_EX_CONTEXTHELP style.

    WS_MINIMIZEBOX

    Creates a window that has a Minimize button. Cannot be combined with the WS_EX_CONTEXTHELP style.

    WS_OVERLAPPED

    Creates an overlapped window. An overlapped window has a title bar and a border.

    WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW

    Creates an overlapped window with the WS_OVERLAPPED, WS_CAPTION, WS_SYSMENU, WS_THICKFRAME, WS_MINIMIZEBOX, and WS_MAXIMIZEBOX styles.

    > [!NOTE] > Although WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW is not supported in Windows Embedded CE, the functionality can still be achieved by obtaining a bitwise OR of the style flags WS_OVERLAPPED, WS_CAPTION, WS_SYSMENU, WS_THICKFRAME, WS_MINIMIZEBOX, and WS_MAXIMIZEBOX.

    WS_POPUP

    Creates a pop-up window. This style cannot be used with the WS_CHILD style.

    WS_POPUPWINDOW

    Creates a pop-up window with WS_BORDER, WS_POPUP, and WS_SYSMENU styles. The WS_CAPTION and WS_POPUPWINDOW styles must be combined to make the window menu visible.

    WS_SIZEBOX

    Creates a window that has a sizing border. Same as the WS_THICKFRAME style.

    WS_SYSMENU

    Creates a window that has a Close (X) button in the non-client area.

    WS_TABSTOP

    Specifies a control that can receive the keyboard focus when the user presses the TAB key. Pressing the TAB key changes the keyboard focus to the next control with the WS_TABSTOP style.

    WS_THICKFRAME

    Creates a window that has a sizing border. Same as the WS_SIZEBOX style.

    WS_VISIBLE

    Creates a window that is initially visible.

    WS_VSCROLL

    Creates a window that has a vertical scroll bar.

  • x
    [in] Specifies the initial horizontal position of the window. For an overlapped or pop-up window, the x parameter is the initial x-coordinate of the window's upper-left corner, in screen coordinates. For a child window, x is the x-coordinate of the upper-left corner of the window relative to the upper-left corner of the parent window's client area.

    If x is set to CW_USEDEFAULT, the system selects the default position for the window's upper-left corner and ignores the y parameter. CW_USEDEFAULT is valid only for overlapped windows; if it is specified for a pop-up or child window, the x and y parameters are set to zero.

  • y
    [in] Specifies the initial vertical position of the window. For an overlapped or pop-up window, the y parameter is the initial y-coordinate of the window's upper-left corner, in screen coordinates. For a child window, y is the initial y-coordinate of the upper-left corner of the child window relative to the upper-left corner of the parent window's client area. For a list box, y is the initial y-coordinate of the upper-left corner of the list box's client area relative to the upper-left corner of the parent window's client area.

    If an overlapped window is created with the WS_VISIBLE style bit set and the x parameter is set to CW_USEDEFAULT, the system ignores the y parameter.

  • nWidth
    [in] Specifies the width, in device units, of the window. For overlapped windows, nWidth is the window's width, in screen coordinates, or CW_USEDEFAULT. If nWidth is CW_USEDEFAULT, the system selects a default width and height for the window; the default width extends from the initial x-coordinates to the right edge of the screen; the default height extends from the initial y-coordinate to the top of the icon area. CW_USEDEFAULT is valid only for overlapped windows; if CW_USEDEFAULT is specified for a pop-up or child window, the nWidth and nHeight parameter are set to zero.
  • nHeight
    [in] Specifies the height, in device units, of the window. For overlapped windows, nHeight is the window's height, in screen coordinates. If the nWidth parameter is set to CW_USEDEFAULT, the system ignores nHeight.
  • hWndParent
    [in] Handle to the parent or owner window of the window being created. To create a child window or an owned window, supply a valid window handle. This parameter is optional for pop-up windows.
  • hMenu
    [in] Handle to a menu, or specifies a child-window identifier, depending on the window style. For an overlapped or pop-up window, hMenu identifies the menu to be used with the window; it can be NULL if the class menu is to be used. For a child window, hMenu specifies the child-window identifier, an integer value used by a dialog box control to notify its parent about events. The application determines the child-window identifier; it must be unique for all child windows with the same parent window.
  • hInstance
    [in] Handle to the instance of the module to be associated with the window.
  • lpParam
    [in] Long pointer to a value to be passed to the window through the CREATESTRUCT structure passed in the lParam parameter the WM_CREATE message.

Return Value

A handle to the new window indicates success. NULL indicates failure. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.

Remarks

Windows Embedded CE does not support stand-alone menu bars. The hMenu parameter must be NULL, unless it is used as a child-window identifier.

For more information about creating a window and for full descriptions of the other parameters of CreateWindowEx, see CreateWindow.

The following dwExStyle flags are not supported:

WS_EX_ACCEPTFILES

WS_EX_NOPARENTNOTIFY

WS_EX_APPWINDOW

WS_EX_PALETTEWINDOW

WS_EX_CONTROLPARENT

WS_EX_RIGHT

WS_EX_LEFT

WS_EX_RIGHTSCROLLBAR

WS_EX_LEFTSCROLLBAR

WS_EX_RTLREADING

WS_EX_LTRREADING

WS_EX_TRANSPARENT

WS_EX_MDICHILD

 

Windows CE 1.0 does not support the WS_EX_TOPMOST style. Versions 2.0 and later do.

Windows CE 1.0 and 2.0 do not support the WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW style. Versions 2.10 and later do.

The following dwStyle flags are not supported:

WS_CHILDWINDOW

WS_ICONIC

WS_MAXIMIZE

WS_MAXIMIZEBOX

WS_MINIMIZE

WS_MINIMIZEBOX

WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW

WS_POPUPWINDOW

WS_TILEDWINDOW

WS_THICKFRAME

WS_TILED

 

All windows implicitly have the WS_CLIPSIBLINGS and WS_CLIPCHILDREN styles.

Windows CE 1.0 does not support owned windows, except for dialog boxes.

If the hwndParent parameter is not NULL and WS_OVERLAPPED is specified, Windows Embedded CE resolves the conflict by implicitly giving the WS_CHILD style to the window. This gives the window a parent, not an owner. Thus, a call to the GetWindow function with the GW_OWNER value set returns NULL.

The CreateWindowEx function sends WM_CREATE messages to the window being created.

The following predefined control classes can be specified in the lpClassName parameter. Note the corresponding control styles you can use in the dwStyle parameter.

  • BUTTON
    Designates a small rectangular child window that represents a button the user can click to turn it on or off. Button controls can be used alone or in groups, and they can either be labeled or appear without text. Button controls typically change appearance when the user clicks them. For more information about buttons and the styles you can specify in the dwStyle parameter, see Control Styles.
  • COMBOBOX
    Designates a control consisting of a list box and a selection field similar to an edit control. When using this style, an application should either display the list box at all times or enable a drop-down list box. If the list box is visible, typing characters into the selection field highlights the first list box entry that matches the characters typed. Conversely, selecting an item in the list box displays the selected text in the selection field. For a table of the combo box styles you can specify in the dwStyle parameter, see Combo Box Styles.
  • EDIT
    Designates a rectangular child window into which the user can type text from the keyboard. The user selects the control and gives it the keyboard focus by clicking it or moving to it by pressing the TAB key. The user can type text when the edit control displays a flashing caret; use the mouse to move the cursor, select characters to be replaced, or position the cursor for inserting characters; or use the BACKSPACE key to delete characters. For more information about edit controls and the styles you can specify in the dwStyle parameter, see Control Styles.
  • LISTBOX
    Designates a list of character strings. Specify this control whenever an application must present a list of names, such as filenames, from which the user can choose. The user can select a string by clicking it. A selected string is highlighted, and a notification message is passed to the parent window. For more information about list boxes and the styles you can specify in the dwStyle parameter, see Control Styles.
  • MDICLIENT
    Designates an MDI client window. This window receives messages that control the MDI application's child windows. The recommended style bits are WS_CLIPCHILDREN and WS_CHILD. Specify the WS_HSCROLL and WS_VSCROLL styles to create an MDI client window that allows the user to scroll MDI child windows into view.
  • SCROLLBAR
    Designates a rectangle that contains a scroll box and has direction arrows at both ends. The scroll bar sends a notification message to its parent window whenever the user clicks the control. The parent window is responsible for updating the position of the scroll box, if necessary. For more information about scroll bars and the styles you can specify in the dwStyle parameter, see Control Styles.
  • STATIC
    Designates a simple text field, box, or rectangle used to label, box, or separate other controls. Static controls take no input and provide no output. For more information about static controls and the styles you can specify in the dwStyle parameter, see Control Styles.

Although the dwExStyle WS_EX_CONTROLPARENT is not supported in Windows CE 5.0 and earlier, it is a required flag for the Windows CE 5.0 with the Windows CE 5.0 Networked Media Device Feature Pack and later when using CreateWindowEx. Platform Builder may generate a warning message that WS_EX_CONTROLPARENT is not supported but this message can be ignored and is harmless.
