Header Control

  • Article

A header control displays headings at the top of columns of information and lets the user sort the information by clicking the headings. Windows Explorer uses a header control when the Details view is selected.

The window class name for a header control is WC_HEADER, which is defined as "SysHeader32" in Commctrl.h.
