### Container Styles

Styles Tab
The Container dialog is used to set the type, general options, and styles of your containers. It is also used to set the ID symbol and value. There are Cancel and Enter buttons along the bottom of the dialog box.

Types:

- Extended allows the user to select one or more container items in any combination. This is valid for all views except the tree view.
- Multiple allows the user to select zero or more container items. This is valid for all views except the tree view.
- Single allows the user to select only one container item at any given time. When a container item is selected, the previous container item selected is de-selected. This is valid for all views and is the only type supported for the tree view.

Options:

- Auto position allows the container items to be arranged when the window size changes, container items are inserted, removed, sorted, invalidated, or filtered, the font or font size changes or the window title text changes. It is only valid with the icon view.
- Verify pointer verifies that the application pointers are members of the container before they are used. Notes: 1. The CCS_VERIFYPOINTERS style bit does not verify the validity of a pointer; it only verifies whether a pointer is a member of a container's linked list. 2. After your code has been developed and tested, you may want to remove the CCS_VERIFYPOINTERS style bit in order to improve the container's performance otherwise, the container will attempt to verify all pointers, which will slow its response to actions that users perform.
- Read only prevents the user from editing any of the text within a container window.
- Mini Record causes the container to interpret all container records as being smaller than they would otherwise be. If a CM_ALLOCRECORD message is received, all records are interpreted and allocated according to the information in the MINIRECORDCORE data structure instead of the RECORDCORE data structure, which is used if this style is not specified.
- Mini-icons causes the container to support mini-icons within in the MINIRECORDCORE data structure.
- No control pointer prevents the container from sending a WM_CONTROLPOINTER message when a WM_MOUSEMOVE message is received by the container.
