The appearance and behavior of the List Box Control in MFC can be changed by setting different styles. Here are some common methods for setting styles:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. In MFC, you can easily set the style of a list box directly within the dialog resource editor by selecting the list box control and then checking or unchecking the appropriate style options in the “Styles” property in the property window.<\/li>\n
  2. When creating a list box control using the Create() method of the CListBox class in the code, you can set the style by specifying the corresponding style parameters. For example:<\/li>\n
  3. Create a sorted list box named listBox, visible and as a child window, with the specified dimensions and parent window.<\/li>\n
  4. In the above code, the styles are set by passing WS_CHILD, WS_VISIBLE, and LBS_SORT as parameters to the Create() method. WS_CHILD signifies creating the list box as a child window, WS_VISIBLE indicates the list box is visible after creation, and LBS_SORT means sorting the items in the list box.<\/li>\n
  5. One option is to modify the style of a list box at runtime by calling the ModifyStyle() method of the CListBox class. For example:<\/li>\n
  6. One option:
    \nRetrieve a pointer to the list box control with the identifier IDC_MY_LISTBOX and remove the integral height style.<\/li>\n
  7. In the above code, the LBS_NOINTEGRALHEIGHT style is added to the list box by obtaining a pointer to the list box control and then calling the ModifyStyle() method. This style disables the integral height feature of the list box.<\/li>\n
  8. You can use the SetExtendedStyle() method of the CListBox class to set the extended styles of the list box. For example:<\/li>\n
  9. Retrieve a pointer to a list box control with the ID IDC_MY_LISTBOX and set its extended selection style.<\/li>\n
  10. In the above code, the pointer to the list box control is obtained and the LBS_EXTENDEDSEL extended style is set to the list box by calling the SetExtendedStyle() method. This enables the extended selection mode for the list box.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
