Description

TControlStyle defines a set of style flags indicating control attributes:

The following table lists the flags and their meanings:

Flag	Meaning
csAcceptsControls	The control becomes the parent of any controls dropped on it at design time.
csCaptureMouse	The control captures mouse events when it is clicked.
csDesignInteractive	The control maps right mouse-button clicks at design time into left mouse-button clicks to manipulate the control.
csClickEvents	The control can receive and respond to mouse clicks.
csFramed	The control has a 3D frame.
csSetCaption	The control's Caption should match the Name property if it has not been explicitly set to something else.
csOpaque	The control completely fills its client rectangle.
csDoubleClicks	The control can receive and respond to double-click messages. Otherwise, map double-clicks into clicks.
csFixedWidth	The width of the control does not vary or scale.
csFixedHeight	The height of the control does not vary or scale.
csNoDesignVisible	The control is not visible at design time.
csReplicatable	The control can be copied using the PaintTo method to draw its image to an arbitrary canvas.
csNoStdEvents	Standard events such as mouse, key, and click events are ignored. This flag allows an application to run faster when there is no need respond to these events.
csDisplayDragImage	If some control that has an associated drag image list is dragged across a control with this setting, then the image list is used to enhance the drag cursor while the cursor is over it. Otherwise, the drag cursor is used on its own.
csReflector	The control responds to Windows dialog messages, focus messages, or size change messages. Use this setting if the control can be used as an ActiveX control, so that it receives notification of these events.
csActionClient	The control is linked to an action object. This flag is set when the Action property is set, and cleared if the Action property is cleared.
csMenuEvents	The control responds to system menu commands.
csPannable	Set this In your control style if it is to support mouse panning.
csNeedsBorderPaint	Only applicable when Themes are Enabled in applications on Windows XP. Causes the ThemeServices to paint the border of a control with the current theme.
csParentBackground	Only applicable when Themes are Enabled in applications on Windows XP. Causes the parent to draw its background into the Control's background. This is useful for controls which need to show their parent's theme elements, such as a TPanel or TFrame that appear on a TPageControl. TWinControl introduces a protected ParentBackground property that includes/excludes the csParentBackground control style.
csAlignWithMargins	Use the Margins property of the control to govern the spacing relative to other controls that are aligned with this one. The controls are not allowed to be any closer than the spacing specified in Margins. This spacing is maintained as controls are moved when the parent control resizes.
