### Statics Styles (Expert Mode)

Styles Tab
The Static Styles dialog box allows you to set the text, ID symbol, value, and styles for a static control. You can enter the text for the static control in the multi-line entry, Text. The ID symbol and value are entered in the ID field. Initially, the ID field will contain a value automatically generated by the IRE. You can edit the symbolic ID and the value for the static or, if the symbol and value you want to use have already been defined in the include header file, you can easily select them from the drop-down list. There are Cancel and Enter buttons along the bottom of the dialog box. This dialog has the following options:

- Text specifies that the control as static text
- Group box specifies that the control as a group box
- Icon specifies the control as an icon
- Bitmap specifies the control as a bitmap
- Sys icon specifies the control as a system icon
- Auto size sizes the control area automatically to the control text
- Foreground rect. specifies the control as a foreground rectangle
- Halftone rect. specifies the control as a half-tone rectangle
- Background rect. specifies the control as a background rectangle
- Foreground frame specifies the control as a foreground frame

- Top aligned aligns the static text to the top in the limits of its display rectangle

- Bottom aligned aligns the static text to the bottom in the limits of its display rectangle
- Word wrap breaks the static text at a space or word break into two or more lines to fit in the limits of its display rectangle as determined by its width and height. You should also select the Top align option if you want this option to provide the word breaking as intended. Note: When you use the Word wrap text option, you can force a break in the text that you enter using either /n or /r where the word break is to occur, or by pressing the Enter key at that point.
- Halftone shows the static text in half-tone
- Mnemonic allows a mnemonic association for the static text. The mnemonic is denoted by the tilde character (~) before the letter that is to act as the mnemonic and will appear underlined when drawn.
