Members

dwSize

Type: DWORD

Size, in bytes, of this structure. The property sheet manager uses this member to determine which version of the PROPSHEETHEADER structure you are using. For more information, see the Remarks.

dwFlags

Type: DWORD

Flags that indicate which options to use when creating the property sheet page. This member can be a combination of the following values.

Value	Meaning
PSH_DEFAULT (0x00000000)	Uses the default meaning for all structure members, and creates a normal property sheet. This flag has a value of zero and is not combined with other flags.
PSH_AEROWIZARD (0x00004000)	Version 6.00 and later. Creates a wizard property sheet that uses the Aero style. The PSH_WIZARD flag must also be set. The single-threaded apartment (STA) model must be used.
PSH_HASHELP (0x00000200)	Permits property sheet pages to display a Help button. You must also set the PSP_HASHELP flag in the page's PROPSHEETPAGE structure when the page is created. If any of the initial property sheet pages enable a Help button, PSH_HASHELP will be set automatically. If none of the initial pages enable a Help button, you must explicitly set PSH_HASHELP if you want to have Help buttons on any pages that might be added later. This flag is not supported in conjunction with PSH_AEROWIZARD.
PSH_HEADER (0x00080000)	Version 5.80 and later. Indicates that a header bitmap will be used with a Wizard97 wizard. You must also set the PSH_WIZARD97 flag. If the PSH_USEHBMHEADER flag is set, then the header bitmap is obtained from the hbmHeader member. Otherwise, the header bitmap is obtained from the pszbmHeader member. This flag is not supported in conjunction with PSH_AEROWIZARD.
PSH_HEADERBITMAP (0x08000000)	Version 6.00 and later. The pszbmHeader member specifies a bitmap that is displayed in the header area. Must be used in combination with PSH_AEROWIZARD.
PSH_MODELESS (0x00000400)	Causes the PropertySheet function to create the property sheet as a modeless dialog box instead of as a modal dialog box. When this flag is set, PropertySheet returns immediately after the dialog box is created, and the return value from PropertySheet is the window handle to the property sheet dialog box. This flag is not supported in conjunction with PSH_AEROWIZARD.
PSH_NOAPPLYNOW (0x00000080)	Removes the Apply button. This flag is not supported in conjunction with PSH_AEROWIZARD.
PSH_NOCONTEXTHELP (0x02000000)	Version 5.80 and later. Removes the context-sensitive Help button ("?"), which is usually present on the caption bar of property sheets. This flag is not valid for wizards. See About Property Sheets for a discussion of how to remove the caption bar Help button for earlier versions of the common controls. This flag is not supported in conjunction with PSH_AEROWIZARD.
PSH_NOMARGIN (0x10000000)	Version 6.00 or later. Specifies that no margin is inserted between the page and the frame. Must be used in combination with PSH_AEROWIZARD.
PSH_PROPSHEETPAGE (0x00000008)	Uses the ppsp member and ignores the phpage member when creating the pages for the property sheet.
PSH_PROPTITLE (0x00000001)	Indicates that the pszCaption is the name of the thing for which properties are being shown. Windows makes a version- and language-dependent adjustment to the caption. For example, in English, the phrase "Properties for" is prepended to a nonempty pszCaption (and if the pszCaption produces an empty caption, then the title is simply "Properties"). If this flag is omitted, then the pszCaption is used unaltered.
PSH_RESIZABLE (0x04000000)	Allows the wizard to be resized by the user. Maximize and minimize buttons appear in the wizard's frame and the frame is sizable. To use this flag, you must also set PSH_AEROWIZARD.
PSH_RTLREADING (0x00000800)	Sets the property sheet or wizard window to right-to-left (RTL) reading order, appropriate for languages like Hebrew and Arabic. If this flag is not specified, property sheet windows default to left-to-right (LTR) reading order, and wizard windows match the reading order of the current page.
PSH_STRETCHWATERMARK (0x00040000)	Stretches the watermark in Wizard97-style wizards. This flag is not supported in conjunction with PSH_AEROWIZARD. This style flag is only included to provide backward compatibility for certain applications. Its use is not recommended, and it is only supported by common controls versions 4.0 and 4.01. With common controls version 5.80 and later, this flag is ignored.
PSH_USECALLBACK (0x00000100)	Calls the function specified by the pfnCallback parameter when certain events occur. For more information, see the description of the PFNPROPSHEETCALLBACK callback function.
PSH_USEHBMHEADER (0x00100000)	Version 5.80. Obtains the header bitmap from the hbmHeader member instead of the pszbmHeader member. You must also set either the PSH_AEROWIZARD flag or the PSH_WIZARD97 flag together with the PSH_HEADER flag.
PSH_USEHBMWATERMARK (0x00010000)	Version 5.80. Obtains the watermark bitmap from the hbmWatermark member instead of the pszbmWatermark member. You must also set PSH_WIZARD97 and PSH_WATERMARK. This flag is not supported in conjunction with PSH_AEROWIZARD.
PSH_USEHICON (0x00000002)	Uses hIcon as the small icon in the title bar of the property sheet dialog box.
PSH_USEHPLWATERMARK (0x00020000)	Version 5.80. Uses the HPALETTE structure pointed to by the hplWatermark member instead of the default palette to draw the watermark bitmap and/or header bitmap for a Wizard97 wizard. You must also set PSH_WIZARD97, and PSH_WATERMARK or PSH_HEADER. This flag is not supported in conjunction with PSH_AEROWIZARD.
PSH_USEICONID (0x00000004)	Uses pszIcon as the name of the icon resource to load and use as the small icon in the title bar of the property sheet dialog box.
PSH_USEPAGELANG (0x00200000)	Version 5.80. Specifies that the language for the property sheet will be taken from the first page's resource. That page must be specified by resource identifier.
PSH_USEPSTARTPAGE (0x00000040)	Uses the pStartPage member instead of the nStartPage member when displaying the initial page of the property sheet.
PSH_WATERMARK (0x00008000)	Version 5.80. Specifies that a watermark bitmap will be used with a Wizard97 wizard on pages that have the PSP_HIDEHEADER style. You must also set the PSH_WIZARD97 flag. The watermark bitmap is obtained from the pszbmWatermark member, unless PSH_USEHBMWATERMARK is set. In that case, the header bitmap is obtained from the hbmWatermark member. This flag is not supported in conjunction with PSH_AEROWIZARD.
PSH_WIZARD (0x00000020)	Creates a wizard property sheet. When using PSH_AEROWIZARD, you must also set this flag.
PSH_WIZARD97 (0x01000000)	Version 5.80. Creates a Wizard97-style property sheet, which supports bitmaps in the header of interior pages and on the left side of exterior pages. This flag is not supported in conjunction with PSH_AEROWIZARD.
PSH_WIZARDCONTEXTHELP (0x00001000)	Adds a context-sensitive Help button ("?"), which is usually absent from the caption bar of a wizard. This flag is not valid for regular property sheets. This flag is not supported in conjunction with PSH_AEROWIZARD.
PSH_WIZARDHASFINISH (0x00000010)	Always displays the Finish button on the wizard. You must also set either PSH_WIZARD, PSH_WIZARD97, or PSH_AEROWIZARD.
PSH_WIZARD_LITE (0x00400000)	Version 5.80. Uses the Wizard-lite style. This style is similar in appearance to PSH_WIZARD97, but it is implemented much like PSH_WIZARD. There are few restrictions on how the pages are formatted. For instance, there are no enforced borders, and the PSH_WIZARD_LITE style does not paint the watermark and header bitmaps for you the way Wizard97 does. This flag is not supported in conjunction with PSH_AEROWIZARD.

hwndParent

Type: HWND

Handle to the property sheet's owner window.

hInstance

Type: HINSTANCE

Handle to the instance from which to load the icon, title string resource, starting page name, header bitmap, or watermark. If the pszIcon, pszCaption, pStartPage, pszbmHeader, or pszbmWatermark member identifies a resource to load, this member must be specified.

hIcon

Type: HICON

Handle to the icon to use as the small icon in the title bar of the property sheet dialog box. This member is used if the dwFlags member includes PSH_USEHICON. This member is declared as a union with pszIcon.

pszIcon

Type: LPCTSTR

Icon resource to use as the small icon in the title bar of the property sheet dialog box. This member is used if the dwFlags member includes PSH_USEICONID. This member can specify either the identifier of the icon resource or the address of the string that specifies the name of the icon resource. In both cases, the icon is loaded from the instance provided by the hInstance member. This member is declared as a union with hIcon.

pszCaption

Type: LPCTSTR

Title of the property sheet dialog box. This member can specify either the identifier of a string resource (loaded from the instance specified by the hInstance member) or the address of a string that specifies the title. If the dwFlags member includes PSH_PROPTITLE, the string Properties for is inserted at the beginning of the title. This field is ignored for Wizard97 wizards. For Aero wizards, the string alone is used for the caption, regardless of whether the PSH_PROPTITLE flag is set.

nPages

Type: UINT

Number of property sheet pages provided in either the ppsp or phpage array.

nStartPage

Type: UINT

Zero-based index of the initial page that appears when the property sheet dialog box is created. This member is used if the dwFlags member does not include the PSH_USEPSTARTPAGE flag. This member is declared as a union with pStartPage.

pStartPage

Type: LPCTSTR

Name of the initial page that appears when the property sheet dialog box is created. This member is used if the dwFlags member includes the PSH_USESTARTPAGE flag. This member can specify either the identifier of a string resource (loaded from the instance specified by the hInstance member) or the address of a string that specifies the name. The start page name is matched against the captions of the pages. This member is declared as a union with nStartPage.

ppsp

Type: LPCPROPSHEETPAGE

Pointer to an array of PROPSHEETPAGE structures that define the pages in the property sheet. If the dwFlags member does not include PSH_PROPSHEETPAGE, this member is ignored. Note that the PROPSHEETPAGE structure is variable in size. Applications that parse the array pointed to by ppsp must take the size of each page into account. This member is declared as a union with phpage.

phpage

Type: HPROPSHEETPAGE*

Pointer to an array of handles to the property sheet pages. This member is used if the dwFlags member does not include PSH_PROPSHEETPAGE. Each handle must have been created by a previous call to the CreatePropertySheetPage function. When the PropertySheet function returns, any HPROPSHEETPAGE handles in the phpage array will have been destroyed. This member is declared as a union with ppsp.

pfnCallback

Type: PFNPROPSHEETCALLBACK

Pointer to an application-defined callback function that is called when certain events occur. For more information about the callback function, see the description of the PFNPROPSHEETCALLBACK callback function. If the dwFlags member does not include PSH_USECALLBACK, this member is ignored.

hbmWatermark

Type: HBITMAP

Version 5.80 or later. Handle to the watermark bitmap. If the dwFlags member does not include PSH_USEHBMWATERMARK, this member is ignored.

pszbmWatermark

Type: LPCTSTR

Version 5.80 or later. Bitmap resource to use as the watermark. This member can specify either the identifier of the bitmap resource or the address of the string that specifies the name of the bitmap resource. If the dwFlags member includes PSH_USEHBMWATERMARK, this member is ignored.

hplWatermark

Type: HPALETTE

Version 5.80 or later. HPALETTE structure used for drawing the watermark bitmap and/or header bitmap. If the dwFlags member does not include PSH_USEHPLWATERMARK, this member is ignored.

hbmHeader

Type: HBITMAP

Version 5.80 or later. Handle to the header bitmap. If the dwFlags member does not include PSH_USEHBMHEADER, this member is ignored.

pszbmHeader

Type: LPCSTR

Version 5.80 or later. Bitmap resource to use as the header. This member can specify either the identifier of the bitmap resource or the address of the string that specifies the name of the bitmap resource. If the dwFlags member includes PSH_USEHBMHEADER, this member is ignored.

Remarks

If the user chooses a setting such as Large Fonts, which enlarges the dialog box, the watermark that is painted on the start and finish pages will be enlarged as well. The size and position of the original bitmap will remain the same. The additional area will be filled with the color of the pixel in the upper-left corner of the bitmap.

The PSH_WIZARD, PSH_WIZARD97, and PSH_WIZARD_LITE styles are mutually incompatible. Only one of these style flags should be set. PSH_AEROWIZARD should be combined with PSH_WIZARD.
