Changing control style on the fly ?

[Guillaume Dargaud]

Hello all,

I tried to do this to change the style of a control on the fly:

SetCtrlAttribute(Pnl, Ctrl, ATTR_CTRL_STYLE,
B ? CTRL_SQUARE_RADIO_BUTTON : CTRL_CHECK_BOX);

But I get a runtime error "That attribute is not a settable attribute"
How can I do this simply besides the obvious NewCtrl/DiscardCtrl with all
the copies of attributes that go with it ?

How about having two controls drawn in the same place on the panel and connected to the same callback. One with the check box style and one with the radio button style. Then just set/clear a single attribute for both controls (ATTR_VISIBLE) when you want to swap from one to the other.

Well, I did it this way, I'm just suprised that since you can do it easily
in the UIR with the F11 keypress, that you can't do it in code...
