Name | Value | Description |
---|---|---|
NoneEnabled | 0 | Visual styles are not applied to the application. |
NonClientAreaEnabled | 1 | Visual styles are applied only to the nonclient area. |
ClientAreaEnabled | 2 | Visual styles are applied only to the client area. |

Examples
The following code example is a simple program that applies visual styles in each of the four areas specified by the VisualStyleState values. To enable visual styles in a certain area, click the option button (also known as a radio button) that represents the area you want to enable, and click the Update VisualStyleState button to observe the changes in the window.
